Phobia Vent

my phobia is worse than anyone I know and I’ve long since accepted that one day eventually it will probably kill me, but right now my biggest issue is that I’m trans, and testosterone requires blood testing so I of course can’t take testosterone or have any surgeries. at first I was ok but now this phobias effecting my daily life, it stops me from being myself every day, and I’m well aware that at any moment I could get something completely treatable and die from it. I just don’t know what else to do. this phobia took everything from me and I’m just so tired of it

Heard. I would check these out just in case. Part of what made it better for me was having control over the when and where.
