So lately my dysphoria has slowly been getting worse since I figured out who I was. Is that a normal thing? For it to slowly get worse to the point I want to cry myself to sleep? I am having a terrible day today doesn't help my mom seems to be using 'girl' or 'daughter' a lot more. Although that might all just be in my head I don't know, I just wish I could come out to her and be myself :bang:
It's very common, unfortunately. As I started to let go of my former cis shell that had provided stability in some sense, I at first felt some elation as of being free, but that turned into horrified realization when I uncovered the grim truth of my reality. *aherm* Not really sure how that's supposed to cheer you up, sorry! <3 Just know that you're definitely not alone. We can all win this fight together!
Happened to me as well. Remember that you can talk to me or any of us whenever you need to vent or get advice on dysphoria related stuff. (*hug*)
It's so common it's more of a rule than an exception. Before you figured it out, you may have been in denial and it's very easy to dismiss if it's not intense--or even if it is.
The same thing happened to me. Once I realized I needed to bind to feel comfortable, I couldn't *stand* not being flat. I made a binder & used that until I could buy one because not binding was suddenly not an option at all
Don't worry, it happens to all of us, just come here and vent if you ever need to get things off your chest *hugs*
Yep, if it didn't get so bad for me I would have never came out. But it did, because I think it happens to everyone. Sorry about it, it sure sucks, but that's what life with dysphoria is.
