Title: Dysphoria strikes back
Post by: jmaxley on May 04, 2011, 01:30:13 AM
I've been trying my best to ignore the dysphoria for the last three or four months.  The last month seemed to be going pretty well.  I haven't been able to bind for a few weeks because of bronchitis and asthma.  And it was getting to where it didn't bother me quite as much.  And then tonight...BAM.  I was hanging out with a group of friends (they don't know yet).  And after being called she a few times...and then at one point when I offered to help set up a table and chairs, one of the girls joked that that was what the guys were for.  The dysphoria just kept getting worse and worse.  I knew it wouldn't go away (it hasn't in the past) but it just seemed all the stronger for trying to ignore it.

I can completely understand how that comment would make you feel.

Thanks.  I haven't been able to get on hormones and it looks like it'll be awhile...just trying to ignore the dysphoria as much as possible till then.
