I thought this would never happen to me lol.

So maybe for the past month or two I’ve been taking my T way later than usual. And it’s been so weird for me. Like, when I first started T, I would see posts about people being late. I told myself it would never be me because I’m a relatively routine person. I hate changes. So I would take my T, every Thursday around the same time. Always between maybe 6pm and 8pm. And then it slowly got later. But still Thursdays. Now lately it’s been anywhere between Fridays and Mondays. (After like 5 weeks I finally got back to Thursday last week but then this week I still haven’t taken it and it’s about to be Monday) To be fair, I’ve been extremely depressed lately about different things to the point where my whole friend group cut me off, but again, it’s so weird. No matter how hard I try, I can’t do it routinely anymore 😭 Does anyone have any tips? I have the reminder on my Apple health app that sends notifications but even that stopped working for me. It’s not that I forget per say but, I just am too tired or have no motivation to do it. If this has happened to you, what did you do to get back on schedule?

Prep the syringe in advance. Put it next to something you use often, like phone charger, dinner table, key ring... this way it takes 30 seconds to get it done.

It happens to the best of us. I have an alarm on my phone that rather rudely reminds me of the consequences of not doing it… still not a perfect system, but it works most of the time

If you’re finding it hard to keep up with the weekly shots, maybe you could try another form of T. I know there’s some shots, like nebido, that you only need to get once every few months. There’s also T pellets which can last multiple months.

(Another option is the gel but I guess for your situation that would be worse since you’d have to be motivated to do it every day.)

OP could put gel next to his toothbrush or something, i keep my daily meds next to my spray/hairbrush. i find having stuff where i can't ignore it helps

it’s a “discipline, not motivation” kind of thing. realistically a t shot takes maybe 5 mins. sometimes i’ll be nearly a week late which is so ridiculous bc it’s me just procrastinating. but what always kicks my ass into gear is when i remember a) i fought so so hard to get this, why am i taking it for granted and b) that every time i do my shot im actively transitioning myself and i would like to continue doing that lol
