[CW: Needles in discussion] FB never fails to stress me out.
๐ข๐ฎ๐ท๐ญ๐๐๐๐๐ญ๐ผ
I'm in a male positivity group and someone posted their fantastic journey with HRT commemorating this with a nice graphic picture of them injecting themselves in the stomach.
๐ข๐ฎ๐ท๐ญ๐๐๐๐๐ญ๐ผ
And now I feel sick.
๐ข๐ฎ๐ท๐ญ๐๐๐๐๐ญ๐ผ
Like, put it with a warning, put it in an album and link it, wtfever
๐ข๐ฎ๐ท๐ญ๐๐๐๐๐ญ๐ผ
Just because I have to do it weekly doesn't mean I want to see it without warning!!!
๐ข๐ฎ๐ท๐ญ๐๐๐๐๐ญ๐ผ
I am so glad they got to do this and I wish them well and I hope they get better facial hair than I did
๐ข๐ฎ๐ท๐ญ๐๐๐๐๐ญ๐ผ
But please fucking don't be inconsiderable about needles it's a common trigger
scream.
why are people
๐ข๐ฎ๐ท๐ญ๐๐๐๐๐ญ๐ผ
I don't know why are people
scream.
im sorry you saw that ugh some people post wack shit/common triggers in my groups too w no warnings or nesting
๐ข๐ฎ๐ท๐ญ๐๐๐๐๐ญ๐ผ
I wish I did
๐ข๐ฎ๐ท๐ญ๐๐๐๐๐ญ๐ผ
Like, I love spiders. Spiders are triggers that are common. So I always post spiders without visible pictures and warnings!
๐ข๐ฎ๐ท๐ญ๐๐๐๐๐ญ๐ผ
It's not that hard.
๐ข๐ฎ๐ท๐ญ๐๐๐๐๐ญ๐ผ
Idk, like, I'm bitching about it here instead of there but I was not prepared to see it.
๐ ๐ฃ๐จ๐ซ ๐ช๐ข๐ซ๐๐ ๐ข ๐ฆ
sounds like someone needs a reminder that there is such a thing as fear of needles. :|
๐ข๐ฎ๐ท๐ญ๐๐๐๐๐ญ๐ผ
I clicked off in panic, and I don't think I can go back looking right now.
๐ข๐ฎ๐ท๐ญ๐๐๐๐๐ญ๐ผ
BUT IT WAS IN THE STOMACH
๐ข๐ฎ๐ท๐ญ๐๐๐๐๐ญ๐ผ
IT LOOKED SO PAINFUL
Water Friend
oh no D8
๐ข๐ฎ๐ท๐ญ๐๐๐๐๐ญ๐ผ
I do not know how people manage that type of injection, y'all are badasses but I am not sure if I'll be able to eat dinner after seeing it.
Water Friend
(if it was stomach it was probably subq? which I do and it isn't painful at all. but that doesn't help triggers)
๐ข๐ฎ๐ท๐ญ๐๐๐๐๐ญ๐ผ
Yeah, my mind accepts this as fact!
๐ข๐ฎ๐ท๐ญ๐๐๐๐๐ญ๐ผ
And then it doesn't and the feral freak out part of my brain screams to the nothingness about needles in bellies
๐ข๐ฎ๐ท๐ญ๐๐๐๐๐ญ๐ผ
I think this is funny though because most people couldn't handle watching me do my injections either
Gemini
yeah, Rose is needlephobic so I have to tell her not to walk past the bathroom when I'm doing mine
Gemini
still, that subQ would weird me out to see too
๐ข๐ฎ๐ท๐ญ๐๐๐๐๐ญ๐ผ
I think blood draws are way worse than injections honestly. I'm kind of surprised at how bad this freaked me out, usually it's not the biggest deal for me.

shriiiiieeeeek
๐ข๐ฎ๐ท๐ญ๐๐๐๐๐ญ๐ผ
Then again, stress can make reactions worse
๐ข๐ฎ๐ท๐ญ๐๐๐๐๐ญ๐ผ
IT WAS UNWANTED AF
Water Friend
^^^^^^^
Bad Vibes Only
WARNINGS, SIR
Water Friend
surprise triggers are a fuckin nightmare and can legit make the trigger worse
Water Friend
so don't fuckin do that bro
๐ข๐ฎ๐ท๐ญ๐๐๐๐๐ญ๐ผ
A little respect goes a long way. I'm so glad they're having this step in their journey but maybe post it somewhere/somehow where seeing that intimate needly step is optional
๐ ๐ฃ๐จ๐ซ ๐ช๐ข๐ซ๐๐ ๐ข ๐ฆ
is there any way to contact the people that manage the page and ask them to ask the poster to fix it?
๐ข๐ฎ๐ท๐ญ๐๐๐๐๐ญ๐ผ
When I'm less stressed out about it I will. Going onto FB right now sounds impossible. I don't wanna see it again
๐ ๐ฃ๐จ๐ซ ๐ช๐ข๐ซ๐๐ ๐ข ๐ฆ
i don't blame you lovey

People need to just have basic respect. It costs them nothing to be considerate and kind, but instead they expect the other party to just "deal with it." But if somebody triggered THEM?
HIKIKOMORTIS
Hooooo boy would they bitch about it.
HIKIKOMORTIS
When did we as a species forget about basic fucking compassion and consideration? /smh
๐ข๐ฎ๐ท๐ญ๐๐๐๐๐ญ๐ผ
Idk. I was talking to someone the other day how I've had literally every MCU movie/show spoiled for me since Civil War.
๐ข๐ฎ๐ท๐ญ๐๐๐๐๐ญ๐ผ
Because some people don't think to take the time to add warnings anymore
HIKIKOMORTIS
Oh my gooooooood
HIKIKOMORTIS
People like that need to be punched
HIKIKOMORTIS
Somebody was going around Otakon one year yelling Harry Potter spoilers because the new book had just come out.
HIKIKOMORTIS
And a bunch of people told staff "you'd better throw that guy out before he gets jumped, because you know someone WILL jump him."

๐ข๐ฎ๐ท๐ญ๐๐๐๐๐ญ๐ผ
A while ago there was someone on here that refused to mark diet stuff/negative weight stuff despite me telling them that it was a trigger for me too. LIKE. BE CONSIDERATE. TAG UR SHIT PLS
rฮนัฮนng ัฯ

Al, I do stomach injections!!!
rฮนัฮนng ัฯ
n
and you know exactly what needles I have !!!!
๐ข๐ฎ๐ท๐ญ๐๐๐๐๐ญ๐ผ
I KNOW!
๐ข๐ฎ๐ท๐ญ๐๐๐๐๐ญ๐ผ
But it still sounds absolutely miserable and it's one of those things where the common sense part of my brain shuts off entirely and I go
๐ข๐ฎ๐ท๐ญ๐๐๐๐๐ญ๐ผ
Anyway y'all who do it in the belly are stronger stuff than I am
rฮนัฮนng ัฯ
n
I think the same about you
๐ข๐ฎ๐ท๐ญ๐๐๐๐๐ญ๐ผ
sob, I'm okay!
