hope you feel better soon!

I am riddled with ailments, but I stay silly!

[so-i-did-this-thing]

Hello, I would like to ask you a question that has been interesting to me for a long time, but I am afraid that it may somehow offend you, so I apologize. I understand if you do not want to discuss such things.

May you please tell me a little about the side effects of the transition?

So, the downsides of medical transition? Sure, I can name a few things. But a lot of "side effects" people warn you about are really just "be sure you're prepared to be more physiologically like a cis man -- you can't pick and choose what effects you get, but you can predict some of them based on genetics."

(Transphobes like to make this sound scary, like you're damaging your body. But it's like... OK, a receding hairline? Yeah, no shit that's gonna happen. Happens to most dudes. Jokes on you, a lot of people are into that. And I can take some finesteride to slow it down, so stop using visual shorthand for masculinity to scare me away from masculinity.)

That said, be sure you're prepared for changes to:

How you gain muscle & fat

Your libido

Your hair growth patterns

How you express (and possibly even feel) emotions

Your voice

Your genitals

Your risk factors for certain health conditions. Some will improve, some will get worse. Me, I have to keep an eye on my congenital heart issue.

That said, the only real "side effects" that I feel are unique to being trans and/or me are:

Vaginal dryness. There's creams for that, so, completely manageable.

You of course need to be aware of your liver health, since you're on a major medication. But it's your doc's job to check your levels and adjust accordingly. I have had no issues.

My ADHD and memory maybe got a bit worse? But they are both stable now.

If I miss a shot, I get irritable (T makes me a much calmer person)

That's really it for me.

I've had top surgery and the only side effect there was that I rejected some sutures (first time that has happened) and thus got a gnarly scar, but that can happen with any surgery.

Other folks are welcome to chime in. Again, I think it's important to distinguish between "side effect" and "this is a new-to-you thing to deal with that is common for cis men."

perfect morning routine 💗

1. wake up early (5:30-6:30 am): start the day off with waking up early to make your mornings feel less rushed.

2. hydrate (5 minutes): drink a glass of water to kickstart your metabolism and rehydrate after a night’s sleep.

3. yoga (10-15 minutes): a short yoga session can help loosen muscles and improve blood flow.

4. meditation (5-10 minutes): practicing deep breathing to center your mind and reduce stress for the day ahead.

5. exercise (20-30 minutes): moderate workouts like a jog, bodyweight exercises, or cycling to boost your energy levels and release endorphins.

6. healthy breakfast (20 minutes): aim for a balance of protein, fiber, and healthy fats. (if you take daily vitamins, do it after having breakfast)

7. shower/skin care (15-20 minutes): refresh yourself and do your skincare routine.

8. daily intentions/scheduling (5 minutes): write and/or vocalize your priorities or goals for the day. you can use a calendar or a journal. this will help you with getting all important things done.

all 8 steps do not need to be done every day but consistency brings the best results!! this routine will leave you feeling energized with a clear mind to start the day!!

Terrible news, gang: I exercised, ate well and got enough sleep, and my mental health has improved. Having now proven to myself that I am not a hopeless wreck who will be irrevocably depressed and miserable for the rest of my life, I am forced to actually... ugh... work on myself.

consistency and exercise

maintaining consistency in your exercise routine can be challenging, but with the right strategies, you can make it a regular part of your life. it's definitely a hard habit to start, especially if you have a bad mindset or a past bad experience. but i believe in you! here are some tips to help you stay consistent:

: ̗̀➛ set clear goals: define what you want to achieve with your exercise routine. having specific, measurable goals can keep you focused and motivated.

: ̗̀➛ create a schedule: plan your workouts like any other important activity. choose specific days and times for exercising, and write them down in your calendar to prioritize them.

: ̗̀➛ start small: if you’re new to exercising or getting back into it, start with short, manageable workouts. gradually increase the duration and intensity as you build your fitness level.

: ̗̀➛ find activities you enjoy: choose exercises that you find fun and engaging. you’re more likely to stick with a routine if you enjoy the activities you’re doing.

: ̗̀➛ mix it up: variety can keep your workouts interesting and prevent boredom. combine different types of exercises, such as cardio, strength training, and flexibility exercises.

: ̗̀➛ track your progress: keep a journal or use a fitness app to record your workouts. tracking your progress helps you see how far you’ve come and keeps you motivated to continue.

: ̗̀➛ build a support system: surround yourself with supportive friends, family, or workout partners who encourage you to keep your fitness goals.

: ̗̀➛ create a reward system: set up small rewards for reaching workout milestones. this can provide motivation and make the process more enjoyable.

: ̗̀➛ eliminate distractions: identify and remove distractions from your environment. this might mean turning off notifications, finding a quiet place to work out, or using apps that block distracting websites.

: ̗̀➛ stay flexible: be prepared to adjust your plans as needed. life can be unpredictable, and staying adaptable can help you maintain consistency even when things don’t go as planned.

: ̗̀➛ practice self-compassion: be kind to yourself if you miss a workout. setbacks are a natural part of the process, and treating yourself with compassion can help you get back on track.

So it’s implied in episode 2x1 that the mental health of the victim affects the quality of the blood and affects the general wellbeing of the vampire who drinks it. (“Too much sadness in the blood” etc)

Have we considered the implications of this, combined with Armand’s main source of blood being suicidal people?

HOW WALKING FOR JUST 30 MINUTES EVERY DAY CAN IMPROVE YOUR PHYSICAL & MENTAL WELLBEING

Regular physical activity has numerous benefits for our physical and mental wellbeing. Just 30 minutes of moderate exercise – such as walking – can help increase our lifespan, reduce our risk of developing chronic diseases, and improve our mood and mental wellbeing.

There are many ways to incorporate walking into our daily routine. For example, we can take a brisk walk during our lunch break, walk the dog in the evening, or go for a walk instead of driving to the store.

When we walk, we should aim to make the most of our time by being mindful of our surroundings and paying attention to our breath. Walking with purpose and intention can help us to clear our mind and improve our focus.

Walking is also a great way to boost our mental wellbeing. Studies have shown that walking can help reduce stress, anxiety, and depression. Walking outdoors in nature can have even greater benefits for our mental health.

So next time you need a break, go for a walk and reap the many benefits that it has to offer!

The Many Benefits of Walking:

Walking is an easy and accessible form of exercise that can benefit us both physically and mentally. Walking regularly can improve our physical and mental wellbeing by increasing our lifespan, reducing our risk of chronic diseases, and relieving stress. Studies have found that walking is associated with a reduced risk of developing type-2 diabetes, heart disease, and other chronic illnesses. In particular, walking at a brisk pace for at least 150 minutes per week can lower our risk of death from all causes. Regular walking can also improve our mental wellbeing. Studies have found that walking for just 30 minutes a day can reduce stress and anxiety and improve our mood. In fact, walking outdoors in nature has even greater benefits for our mental health. These mental health benefits can also extend to our cognitive performance.

Studies have found that 30 minutes of walking can boost creativity and improve our memory recall.

Incorporating Walking into Your Daily Routine:

If we want to gain all of the health benefits associated with walking, it is important to incorporate it into our daily routine. One of the easiest ways to do this is to take a 10-15 minute walk during our lunch break.

This can help us to refocus, reframe our thoughts, and improve our concentration during work. We can also add additional walking into our daily routine. For example, instead of driving to the store, walk there instead. Or take the stairs instead of the lift. If we have a pet, take them out for an extra 10-15 minute walk.

Making the Most of Your Walk: To make the most out of our walk, we should aim to be intentional and mindful. This means paying attention to our breath and appreciating our surroundings. When we walk, try to bring our attention to our breath and focus on each step. This can help to clear our mind and improve our focus.

In particular, walking outdoors in nature can help reduce stress, improve our mood, and boost creativity. So make sure to take advantage of nature around you when you walk!

Walking for Mental Wellbeing: Studies have found that walking can be beneficial for our mental wellbeing. This is especially true if we walk in nature. Studies have found that walking in nature can reduce stress, anxiety, and depression. 

In fact, this type of walking has been found to be just as effective as other forms of psychological therapy. Walking can help us to feel calm, clear our minds, and improve our focus. It is also beneficial for our creativity and memory recall. 

Walking is an accessible and easy form of exercise that can have numerous health benefits. Walking for just 30 minutes each day can boost our mental and physical wellbeing by reducing our risk of developing chronic diseases, relieving stress, and improving our cognitive performance. When we walk, we should strive to be intentional and mindful. Aim to be aware of our breath and take in the beauty of nature around us. So next time you need a break, go for a walk!
