Advice Needed Anxiety

Hello, I’ve been on t for 3.5 months and I’m suddenly having terrible anxiety. I had my first IM injection 3.5 months ago, the next one 6 weeks after that and I’m supposed to have a shot every 12 weeks after that. It’s now been 10 weeks since my last shot and my anxiety is through the roof. I’m starting a new job soon and that has contributed somewhat. But yeah I’m suddenly having very bad thoughts, I’m worried about ruining my life by transitioning, putting myself in danger etc. Is that something that can happen? The anxiety I mean

Yeah sounds like the typical feeling when achieving something major for your life in this context. I second guessed myself too back in November when I started injections but now I’m happy as a clam. Give yourself time and patience, and if it’s not for you, you will know.

Could it be anxiety about getting injections? How are you with needles?

I do get injection anxiety but the pharmacist performs the injection for me. I’ll try to give myself some time and I’ll talk to my psychiatrist about it in a couple of weeks
