I started
treatment at 26 years of age. When I first
started testosterone, I felt very excited by
also confused by my changing reactions to anger.
Some of the concerns I
had about starting treatment were the unknowns
and uncertainty.
The way I dealt with
those concerns was by realizing that they were
few and thinking about the positives and know I
could stop if I needed to.
The best thing for me
about starting treatment was finally being able
to stop feeling that I looked funny and my
self-confidence growing.
The worst thing for me,
about starting treatment was my liver struggles
with the T and I need to watch my health now
(eg., avoiding toxins). Seeing my partner pull
away from me when I would become more angry but
I learnt to cope with my anger.
The people who
supported me on this process were friends and
family. Some of the things I want to do with my
future are have kids, open a retreat and build
an eco-house.
Other comments: Without
T I would never have been able to enter
adulthood. I do not regret taking T as it has
made the world of difference to my peace of mind
and quality of life.
