Abt switch
The Abt switch is a kind of railway switch used on funiculars (inclined cable railways) that doesn’t have any moving parts. It allows two cars to pass each other going uphill/downhill while sharing the same tracks. While most train switches rely on physically moving a section of track so the train goes one way or the other, the abt switch doesn’t move at all. Instead each carriage has a grooved wheel which makes it turn left or right at a junction by sticking to the track on one side.
As a reminder, please do not discuss current struggle sessions in the mega. We want this to be a little oasis for all of us and the best way to do that is not to feed into existing conflict on the site.

Took my E dose! I missed my small dose last week because I just started split dosing and I’m not used to the schedule yet. Fortunately I also went up in dose at the same time and just kept doing my usual dose on Sundays and the extra I need on Thursday. Journaling has helped me recognize my emotions so much better and I noticed an end of week decline in my mental health leading up to today that I now recognize from from before I started split dosing. Plugging my regimen into the HRT levels simulator my levels should be falling quite a bit leading up to my dose when I don’t split dose, so this is all adding up in my head. It also makes me regret not pushing for a higher dose earlier, since it took me about 1.5 years of HRT to get to an effective dose, but I’m here now and that’s what actually matters.
