Yeah, I don't mind them too much when they're intentional (i.e. during sex/masturbation) but at any other time they're awful, I use gaffs to tuck and the result of an erection in a gaff is both dysphoric and painful 😔

I've been on EEn for 8 months, currently at a dose of 5.5mg every 7 days (I started at 5mg and upped it after the first 3 months) which felt like it was working decently well for T suppression up until the last couple of weeks, but my mood's been all over the place (and not in the inconvenient-but-affirming way of bursts of happy or sad tears I was getting for a while) on top of the physical symptoms.

And I know you're right about the date and my friend, the logical part of my brain agrees, but I'm a chronic overthinker when it comes to these things and it's tough to silence the anxiety/depression thoughts 😥

Thanks so much for the thoughtful response, I really appreciate it 💜
