Nothing bad happened, but when he moved schools we stopped talking. That was 3 years ago. 2 years ago I ran into him once and we talked for about 5 minutes. I think about him a lot and I want to be friends again. I reached out and we briefly texted a couple week ago, just small talk. But i’m not sure how to reach out since I already did and we did the whole “how have you been, what are you up to” thing. We were really good friends but I’m not sure how to reach out to a 17 year old boy. Not typically a big fan of 17 year old boys, they’re very hard to talk to. Im also worried that he’ll be annoyed and not want to talk. I don’t want him to think I’m weirdly obsessed and can’t let it go.

Cannot get over him. We talked briefly (typical conversation you have with someone you haven't seen in 3 years) but since September I think about him nonstop. Several times a day. In my dreams every night. I can't stop looking through his girlfriend's instagram and just staring at him and seething in jealousy. I'm trans FtM, he liked me pre-transition. He's straight. I liked him while he liked me and for about a year after and then sort of moved on until September 2025. We never dated or anything. I cry over him because I probably won't see him again and we never talk. My entire body feels endless want. It's exhausting and my chest always feels heavy. Perhaps this is important: I started testosterone in August 2025 and I have a feeling that the feelings for him came back the next month because of hormones. I am a teenager but overall done with puberty. I also have OCD and I get really obsessed and dependent on people.

I need him out of my mind. It plagues me. I feel such intense emotions over him and it's new to me. I always considered myself aromantic and asexual. I think he's the only crush I've ever had. I cannot have him. I don't know what to do. My brain is still developing and I know I'm young and this is normal. But it's not normal for me and it's taking over my life. Please help

Theres stuff going around twitter that the white house said pro-transgender radicalists will be identified and neutralized. Some people are even saying that trump said “we will find them and we will kill them”. I dont believe this right away, but it still worries me. I live in a blue state.I have trans friends. Are there people stalking this sub and identifying trans people? Are people actually going to find and kill people? Are my friends in danger? Will people eventually go door to door and start killing trans people? Will it be only visible trans people, or will all medical documents be found or something and they’ll know all people who are trans? Will there really be a genocide against trans people? Are trans people safe everywhere, or will the hate crimes extend across the globe? I’m so scared

I went up to 225 (from 187.5) today. Pretty much every time I go up I feel this way slightly. But today has been the worst of all the times, I took hydroxyzine but it hasn’t really helped because it’s not really anxiety. Slightly different than caffeine jitteriness, feels a bit like a DXM high mixed with shaky, anxious, jittery, and restless.

i've always wanted big scars. i have a lot but it never felt like enough. i've seen people on twitter with the scars i've always wanted. i mainly self harm for the scars. i wanted to live my life with scars and have people see them.

but suddenly, 2 days ago, i don't want them anymore. i regret it. i hate them. i'll have to show them forever. i'm ruined. my body is mutilated. they're too big and there's too many of them for them to go away. i haven't felt a lot of serious regret in my life, and it makes me feel awful. there's nothing i can do. i'm this way forever. i don't know why i changed my mind.

Hello, I am currently trying to lose about 20 pounds. I was around 125lbs before testosterone (going on 9 months) and am now 148lbs. 125lbs was healthy for my sex, age (15), and height (5'7), but I am now closer to being slightly overweight and I don't look the way I want to. Is it going to be harder to lose weight being on T? I don't want it all to turn into muscle. I am okay with a healthy amount of muscle but I don't really want to be "big", whether that's fat or muscular. I have severe depression and ARFID, so I try really hard to eat well but I definitely need to eat more vegetables and fruit. I eat about 1500-1800 calories a day. I don't exercise either (I know that needs to change, which is why I'm making this post) and I don't really have gym equipment or access to the gym. Motivation is extremely hard for me, and I'm not really sure how to exercise within my comfort zone but still lose weight.

TL;DR: Will it be more difficult to lose weight on T? Should I up/lower my calorie intake? How can/should I exercise to lose weight without equipment or intense exercise?

The only thing that helps my migraines is excedrin and time. I have to take 2 excedrin, lay on my pillow with a heating pack on my eyes and a squishmallow on top of that for at least 30 minutes. But I don’t always have 30 minutes or heat or a pillow!!! It’s so infuriating, I have a life to live😢

Hello, I am 18 ftm (on testosterone 9 months) 5'7 148lbs. I am trying to stop having several snacks a day and instead have 3 meals. I'd like to aim for ~1500 calories a day. My question is about hunger: Will my body eventually get used to being slightly hungry between lunch and dinner? I get super hungry now around 3:00 and usually have a small snack but am still hungry afterwards. Will this hunger go away as I transition to 3 meals (+1/2 small snacks) a day?

I’m 15y/o 5’7 148lbs ftm, nearing 9 months on T. Before T, my weight stayed pretty consistently around 120-125lbs while eating whatever I wanted. I have ARFID and a really hard time with eating well. I know I can loose weight, but will my eating habits have to change forever? Will I need to not have a treat every day or something I enjoy? My mom and friends say I don’t look big, but I’m getting a lot bigger and I don’t want it to turn into a disorder, because my brain is kind of wired to be disordered with this kind of stuff. I also have major depressive disorder and plenty of other things, so Im really out of shape and don’t exercise. I know that has to change though. I’ve liked everything about T so far besides my weight gain. I want to be one of those lean and skinny guys who are as skinny as you can be while also being healthy. I’m in need of advice, I can’t look at my body without crying and thinking about it makes my stomach hurt. Eating healthy and exercising feels like such a big life change that will be a chore forever.
