Testosterone and me
Most of my life I felt that my body lacked something and that it behaved in a way it shouldn't have. See, during certain days I felt strong, calm and composed. I felt I could do whatever I needed either physically or psychically. Then there were days I was emotional, weak and totally illogical. My head ached and I was collapsing due to low blood pressure. I couldn't think straight, I couldn't do much of anything. And I don't even talk about how I felt during my period. Secretly I hoped that testosterone that I'd be taking as a trans man would get me rid of all inexplicable health issues. The issues were so bad that they practically made me a wreck for a half a month at least each month. It is one of the reasons I just couldn't imagine going on with my life. The doctors though always told me - just get used to the fact that you are a woman. I couldn't accept that ever. I read a lot about the effects of testosterone and I could even imagine it quite clear...
