Returning to this video 3 yrs later having realized I'm trans. I hope testosterone helps, but I will definitely want this vile organ out of my body as soon as I get a chance.
I wanna be a man I hate this life
Her voice is so relaxing and tender ❤
Yo use a 23g?!? I’ve been using a 27g 1inch and it’s perfect. Screw those big harpoons
I switched to 25g recently, and that's working but it's very slow. I can't imagine how much slower the injection speed would be with an even smaller needle. I guess it doesn't matter as long as the liquid can get through! I'm glad 27g is working for you :)
Yeaaa, it's terrible, but the best we have.
Are you a woman?
What is he doing?
Glute, around and inch below your waistline in the upper/outer quadrant of the glute. I’ve only ever hit a blood vessel there once in 2 decades of using test.
Dont forget to draw when the needle is in so you know your not in a vein. I find the liquid going in really hurts and I have to change over to the other leg so I do two legs 2ml each of Reandron.
Pro tip from an outdoorswoman. If you don't want to pull your pants down, don't use anything flimsy that could accidentally compress between you thighs... If you go with something that has flex (especially the juice box), then you'll have a hard time using it through your fly, and will probably have to pull your pants down.
The nurse told me last week to make sure the bevel on the needle was facing up, as he said in the video. I don’t know why but it was a lot less painful when she injected it that way. She also said to make the stick quickly.
Jesus Christ 23 gauge needle is way overkill. Look into every other day with insulin needle. 23 gauge in the thigh is horrendous advice. Id look towards the steroid forums over listening to these nurses they give the absolute worst advice!
Can't do every other day because this vial is not resealable. I'm switching to Depo-T subcutaneous weekly, but the pharmacy is out of stock until the end of April. I've ordered a 25 gauge for my next shot to see what that's like.
You need to use a filter straw when drawing up out of glass you are going to get glass shards in your body and that is no good
Thigh sucks, the pip can be crazy and takes a few to get use to, even then I've nicked vessal few times and had a squirter and black n blue for week
You are so hot
Bro if i hit testosterone in sciatic nerve in buttock
Thank you for all the efforts and resources that have been put into making this. It's been around a decade I’ve started my lifelong healing journey. Honestly, at this point, I feel like I'm at 8-9 on the spectrum of all types of health. In short, I find my journey to be about undoing bit by bit all the disconnection that the oppressive systems like capitalism caused and reconnecting to my body, my mind, my species, as many types of other species as possible, remembering that I am of the Nature…. A question that kept coming back for a while was “How does one heal while living in a society with such destructive structures that make the hurt ongoing, omnipresent?” And I think it helped when I started implementing some distinction between things I do that help more with prevention of the hurt like deconstructing and dismantling of the oppressive systems mentioned in the comments, from things I need to do to build a tolerance to the hurt and things I need to do to cope with the results of the hurt and of course then trying to find a balance when prioritizing one over the other. And for sure every time I share my journey. I try to make sure I acknowledge that any type of healing globally is a privilege, a luxury that not many can afford /and not just financially/. To add to the point about one way of training the window of tolerance; in case there is a limited access to water, cold air can serve similar purpose.
Amazing sharing. At almost 60, Ive been trying to heal for the last 30years. None of the therapy has helped very much. Buddhist principles did impact me some.... living in the moment, detatchment. Mindfulness. Meditation doesnt help. I havent been able to do much for my own mental health, as my kids needs in that area have far overshadowed mine and Ive been poor for all my life. They trigger me in so many ways, that its difficult to heal. I'll have to wait for them to leave home before I can start to work on myself. Glad you are finding you and have confidence in who you've become or becomming.
Wow! Thanks for sharing your journey. This video is very timely for me. I’ve been considering how to help my mental health and realizing my mental health is awful and has been awful for most of my life. A lot of the things you listed in the video I’ve heard of and been considering for myself. So, I feel like I may be on the right track. I’m very excited to check out your book recs!
Thanks! Let me know how it goes :)
VAMPIRE THE MASQUERADE EARRING! :O
Even though I love being a girl periods don't just cut it for me
I've done a lot of the thigs in this video. Have a lot to say about a lot of it but perhaps best not expounded upon in the comments. One thing I have come to but haven't fully implemented yet is the hunch that most of us do not need to be medicated. I'm becoming a tin-foil hat adjacent person with psychiatric medication although I know it is not actually coming from a delusional place. It is hard to talk about because people are very defensive (rightly so) about our mental illnesses being legitimate. My understanding about ADHD, for example, is that it can be treated/managed without medication just as well or nearly as well as with medication but it is less of a quick fix. The flip side of that is that it is also longer lasting than taking a vyvanse or a ritalin or a concerta, etc. The other thing that I find keystone level helpful is that deconstruction and dismantling white supremacy/colonialism in my head has made it easier to be motivated to heal. I have responsibility to the people around me to unlearn shame, to learn how to be on time despite my ADHD (with whatever solution works whether that be alarms, friends reminding me, etc), to learn how to set boundaries. It is counterrevolutionary/anti-radical/whatever not to do those things - I will become hard to work with, extractive, potentially dangerous if I don't. Good for motivation when I don't want to have a hard conversation or do some sort of exercise that will help or whatever else.
🙌🙌🙌 Yes to deconstructing and dismantling white supremacy and colonialism! In terms of ADHD, what I do know is that a lot of what I thought were ADHD symptoms were childhood trauma symptoms, and once I've worked through a lot of my childhood trauma, the impact my ADHD has had on my life has significantly lessened. It's for sure still there, but yes mostly managed without medication now.
i know i’m just some random who’s been watching your stuff for a while, but i hope it’s not too weird to tell you that i had a dream about you last night. we were just talking at a pool party. when i woke up i realized i hadn’t seen a video from you in a while and wondered how you were doing. so i was surprised to see you post today! thanks for sharing your journey with us, i hope it continues to bring you fulfillment and resilience. 😊
I dont like books on empathy. I dont have it. Either i wasnt born with it or it was traumatized out of me, and every book on empathy refuses to acknowledge people like me can be good people and acts like its a moral failing to be unempathetic. Empathy obsession doesnt help me want to try cognitive empathy. It makes me want to shield myself away more. I still care about people. Just not like most people do. And its not my fault. If it were a choice to be like this then maybe id accept being shamed for it by every corner of society.
In your opinion, in what way does your care for people look different from the way most people's care looks?
i can experience empathy if i really go super hard on understanding the other person. it's pretty magical when it happens but it usually isn't necessary. i operate without empathy nearly all of the time and i do just fine - arguably very well - by the people around me. i agree about being sussed by books on empathy/etc. i have a friend who teaches a how to be empathetic course and i always kind of cringe when they mention it. presumably it is very helpful for some people and i'm glad of that but it doesn't make much sense to me and makes me sort of uncomfortable.
@@BodeRiisI hope I understand the question: I am very bad at comforting my friends. I don't know how they're feeling or how to move myself into that space. I don't get it. I am, however, action oriented and wanting to offer solutions to the problem that they're facing. It takes practice figuring out when each person responds best to that, and I hate how long it can take some people to be ready for the most obvious way forward, but I know my emotional range is both erratic and stunted so it's not fair to rush them just because I don't care. And that's another part isn't it. I'm only able to process empathy through the lens of myself. It doesn't have super bad outcomes per se, but it's not normative empathy. It's the acute awareness that the way i behave and feel is not normative, and reacting to that knowing i need to be patient or ill end up hurting somebody even of that person is me. I care about not hurting people anymore. Watching my tone and the way I move. Making sure everybody is comfortable and safe. Putting as little pain out into the world as possible and focusing on some people I think are cool and hot and think I'm cool and hot because I don't like people, but I like a Person. Sometimes Persons are okay. Bad idea to write this while super sleepy. Hope a little bit made sense. It's hard to know how to say that because I don't know how anybody else cares. I know what I do and why I do it(mostly) but I have no perfect understanding of the difference between me and others. That which requires traumadumping remains private.
@@flightwithtools I get this. It takes so much effort. If they're not exactly like me it's monumental time and effort to get a twinge of real feeling, otherwise I'm just performing a socially necessary act. I'm fine with it most of the time. The way I am, I want the attention. But it DOES feel better when I finally really get somebody. Takes so long though. They have to be really cool and good to me. Not waste my time. Can you tell which end of the B cluster I'm on lol
If I may offer my perspective on empathy (which lines up with a lot of Brené Brown's work)-- You don't need to know how your friends are feeling without them telling you. We're human, we're not mind readers. We're allowed to ask how our friends are feeling, and if they don't tell us and we don't know, that doesn't mean we lack empathy. We also can't feel other people's feelings. This is a misunderstanding. If someone expresses sadness and we then feel sad, our feeling of sadness is our own. It's impossible to feel somebody else's feelings. Our brains can sometimes mirror a feeling someone else is having if we're familiar with that feeling, but then it is our own. In my experience, most people are action-oriented; we want to help other people! Empathy is often about letting the other person have autonomy in the type of support you offer, so asking; "What are you needing right now? Do you need solutions, or do you just want to be heard?" And learning this empathy takes practice! We're not all taught how to empathise. It's about learning what that looks like, what types of empathy feels good for our friends, and practicing that. It is about feeling our gut-reaction -- to help solve the problem-- and taking a breath, setting it aside, and asking "What do you need from me in this moment?"
really enoyed the view at 4.04😍
hey guys!wjat i dpo is a get a bottle from the shop and when I finished it I cut out a diagonal shape from the bottom, and then I tape tissue around it and works pretty well!
Her using examples about being loud or yelling are not observational from a. NVC consciousness point of view. Apart from that, it's a very helpful video
How would you observe when someone is using a louder volume than they normally do? I understand what you're saying but I think the point is that observations must be nonjudgmental, and I interpret "yelling" to be value-neutral. What are your thoughts?
Omg this is so underrated
👍🤗🙏
It’s definitely more inclusive, but I still hate the character of Regina George. Just an awful manipulative, Miserable person. I know that’s the intent, but my opinion doesn’t change with being non-binary.
Yup that’s the point :) Someone being nonbinary doesn’t make them anything other than being nonbinary. It doesn’t make them kinder, or meaner, or nicer, or crueler, or anything additional other than them being nonbinary.
RIP to some little kids that said that they wanted to have periods 💀
RIP
Hey, How are you doing now? Are your periods permenantly gone?
I’m doing great! Yes I can no longer get my periods because I don’t have a uterus any more.
@@BodeRiis wow good to know you're doing great.. please make a video including cost and some tips of the process..
Thank you so much for posting this up. This is so comprehensive and covers so much about non violent communication that I feel is missing from some peoples’ toolkits.
For me it helps to think of boundaries as mutually agreed upon rules of a sport (I used to play a lot of sports). Like you can change the rules as you go along and realize something is making the sport not work, but there are established parameters for the game.
I think the metaphor doesn’t quite work, because when a boundary is crossed it’s usually in terms of more intimacy than one is comfortable with-moving _closer_ instead of away. So… maybe you can say your boundaries are like your skin? If someone gets in either, they wound you. (Or, if you are a nerd, your AT Field.)
The idea I was building off of was Brené Brown saying “Boundaries are not just about saying no, they’re also about saying yes.” So one aspect of a boundary is more intimacy than one is comfortable with. But my boundary is that I need to be out about my relationship(s). I guess you could turn that around and say “I can’t be in the closet in a relationship.” but that’s still not about intimacy at all, it’s another thing entirely, for me it’s about authenticity.
@@BodeRiis I’d say the skin metaphor works for this as well, as this need is still a part of you. You could say that hiding your relationship was a blow to that part-in this case a blunt force blow, because he’d told you in advance, but if he hadn’t, then more like a cut. And the way you reacted was akin to reeling from an injury.
oh i think you're about to explain what i started thinking about when you first used the words "love map" in trying to find a better description - that the boundary exists around you and the people you love and feel safe with, and you are informing them what would put them outside your circle of closeness. EDIT yes that seems to be about it! I'm glad you found a framing that works for you!
just want to say the location you're filming in is so fascinating and love the use of it at 17:28
OMG this is such a huge lightbulb moment for me! Thank you so much for sharing this. I love the concept of someone breaking your boundaries being them walking out of your house - that also leads (for me at least) to the decision, do I lock the door or do I follow them and have a discussion about what's gone wrong? It changes how enforcing or upholding boundaries looks dramatically. This is huge. Thank you!
I have the same question! If they walk out of the boundary, do I yell after them to say goodbye, or just let them go without saying anything?
@@Paula_Limberg I think that's the point - it's your decision at that point. You get to decide if you say to them "hey, you walked out the door, if you'd like to come back here's how" or if you just let them go. It'll depend on lots of things - like if they've done that specific thing many times before for example, or if they often ignore your boundaries, or even the manner in which they broke it.
Wow released same day! I am about to have one and they said 3-5 days in hospital and all the videos I'm watching says it's agonising. I hope I have the same experience as you!!
I really do like the idea of seeing boundaries from the inside out. Like, the way you're saying it its not like drawing a line in the sand between you and them, and telling them not to cross it. Its drawing a line around the both of you, and them leaving it.
I don't have this specific hangup about boundaries, but I really relate to how the semantics of words and metaphors we use to describe concepts like this really mess with my head, and I have to come up with a new way of understanding. It's like, I end up with the same idea as everyone else, which sometimes makes people look at me like "yeah... that's the same thing..." But they don't get that metaphors are way more literal to me. (Which is funny, because metaphors literally aren't literal, but I think you know what I mean) the metaphor has to FEEL right emotionally.
I can't recall any examples right now but if I think of them I might come back and share lol.
Yes! I totally get it! If the metaphor feels off it pulls the idea in a different direction in my head. I am an incredibly visual thinker, so I think that does influence that for me.
Well, most of the words we use were born in the oppressive society we're living in, so, it's not a shocker that most concepts we build our life on may sound confusing, illogical and highly divisive. I love critically analyzing all of them including coming up with some metaphors to help me understand and reframe them. The next step in the case of "boundaries" would be probably trying to align the way I understand and see boundaries with the way those who I want to set some boundaries with do. Maybe to find out where our metaphors meet and where they are different from each other.
Here's a quote from Prentis Hemphill 'Boundaries are the distance at which I can love you and me simultaneously.'
I know. I was on the fence about talking about that. I decided not to because it doesn’t work for me personally, because it continues to conjure the idea of distancing myself from those I love and I struggle to set my own boundaries when I think about it in that way. For me personally, boundaries are about helping someone to be and stay in close connection with me. So I have needed to reword it so it works for my brain.
Sure, I think I can see what you mean.
Actually, to make the whole concept of "boundaries" work for the benefit of my relationships with people I needed not only to reword but to re-imagine the concepts of "connection" and "relationship". This one example you have in the video around physical touch hit too close to home for me. I think a lot of times "connection" and "relationship" is being presented in a pretty binary manner as if there is a connection and/or a relationship or there isn't. Instead, I like seeing these concepts in their multiplicity and abundance. I am connected to someone in so many ways as well as build different types of relationships with the same person. So some distance in one area doesn't keep me from having other types of connections with this person. Trying to set aside hierarchies around all types of connections and relationships I see the distance I need in one set of boundaries as just a possibility to focus on some other types of connections and relationships we are in with this same person. So instead of saying "I don't think this relationship is going to work for me"💔 I might say let's try and work on other types of relationships and connections we have with each other 💞 and not let this boundary I have to disconnect us.
Hey, something happened to the closed captions… Also, what happened to the full video with the alien and everything?
Thanks for letting me know about the closed captions. I unlisted a lot of videos a few months ago, after the Posie Parker protest in New Zealand a lot of local trans folks myself included were hit with immense amounts of online transphobia, so I took a social media break and closed comments on many of my videos, while unlisting others. I have made the video with the alien public again, and I'll look into the CC on this one when I have time. Thank you
@@BodeRiis Thank _you_ for making my name in the credits public again, I feel like Rockfeller with his name on a plaque on a library wall when I see it lol
Why are female people supposed to suffer and cry😭😭😭 And men dont get them usually....
Why not save money and use a used water bottle or soda bottle?
You could try that. I think that that type of plastic might be too sharp when you cut it. It also doesn’t fold up very well into the correct form for usage.
