Title: so some strange things have happened in my body...
Post by: jaybutterfly on March 19, 2014, 12:47:50 PM
since starting cbt after getting my appointments moved forwards, I have noticed some changes along with a better mood and more positive thought cycle. The weirdest part is my body has done some wierd things this last few days.My hairs lighter so my body hair isnt showing as easily, Im losing my gut and my muscles are getting smaller since Im not slugging the heavy stuff at the gym anymore. No more back and neck pains and best of all. My male functions and sex drive have stopped completely, no awkward annoying boy things happening and its a massive relief to me. Im actually considering throwing caution to the wind a little more and considering telling a relative of mine that I might be trans. I'm feeling infinitely more comfortable with myself.

I hope others hear are having a good time of it as well

CBT? But yeah, that's the stuff that happens alright. It's amazing what effect hormones have of the body and one's emotional/psychological state.

hormones have such a big effect on us, t is a powerful hormone so if you stopping it effects or getting its effects you will feel entirely different.

I'm not taking hormones though. CBT, cognitive behavioural therapy is used for treating depression, anxiety and other problems like that. I've been taking it on board a lot and its made me a lot more comfy with my gender and come to terms with other stress in my life. I think my body is responding to how I feel about my gender identity or something, but its crazy haha.
