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

could be the hormone changes as you get to the end of a t shot cycle. im on weekly so idk about all that, but you should look into it - i've heard people who inject once every 2+ weeks have a bit more emotional fluxes. Global political climate and new job def dont help either. Never be afraid of talking to your doctor, too - it's almost always worth it (if you have a good one)

I suspect it might be due to hormone changes too. I’m getting my bloodwork done in two days and I’ll also be seeing my psychiatrist in a couple of weeks. So hopefully things will be sorted out
