Hi Everyone! I'm planning on adding stuff here but first enjoy your new weekly mega <3
Join our public Matrix server!

As a reminder, please do not discuss current struggle sessions in the mega. We want this to be a little oasis for all of us and the best way to do that is not to feed into existing conflict on the site.
Also, be sure to properly give content warnings and put sensitive subjects behind proper spoiler tags. It's for the mental health of not just your comrades, but yourself as well.
Here is a screenshot of where to find the spoiler button.

It's reasonable to be scared and anxious, particularly what you've disclosed about your family before. Ultimately, what medication you want and need is your decision, not your family's - that doesn't mean they might not be shitty about it and maybe even a pain in the ass and do stuff like throw out your meds, but its always going to be your call what you want to put in your body. I don't know and can't guarantee how they'd take you being on HRT, but I've been eternally surprised by some very rural and very conservative parents taking their kids transition in stride (because they might not get it but they love their kid). This doesn't erase some of the horrible things that still happen or your anxieties.You've been dealing with a lot of very hard emotional things lately. I know it can feel overwhelming. What are some things you think you can do to get past any shitty family behaviour? One possibility is keeping your medication and needles with a friend you trust, do you have any what I'm gonna call "bonus parents"? Like parents' friends you can trust and be out with. Do you have any ideas?
As for how to get needles, it depends on where you live but usually you're able to purchase medical supplies online. Sometimes you can get it with no questions or prescription from a pharmacy, depends on where you're at. I requisition my supply from my workplace lol~ If you get needles, you can get a sharps container for them and should (usually pharmacies supply them sometimes for free and will dispose of your sharps when it's full and get you another rbin).

I hope. I've heard how it can be different in either direction. egh. Hopefully not an issue for a little bit.I don't have anyone who can hold my meds for me. I don't think hiding the meds themselves is a big concern (at least until I come out/they notice). I did contact an old friend to hopefully ship stuff to. I don't know what else I can do to deal with that. Other then getting a job/etc. Which I want to work on... I don't know what else to even plan for or what I can planning I can do.
aggghhh
forgot I need a sharps container too. Hoping my friend can come through and help with that stuff.
