Title: Confuzed
Post by: staypositive1 on June 01, 2014, 04:25:30 PM
So I've noticed that when I excercise every day my dysphoria goes away.
Like I'm fine with whatever people see me as, cause I know myself what I am.
But if I don't for like a week I just completely obsess and become angry and dysphoric over everything.
This makes me confuzed to whether what I even am, transwise, since I'm fine being just a 'lesbian' when I put in the exercise factor.
The excercise makes me kinda forget and switch focus, but the downpart is that I can't decide a physical look ever...
I go girly (enjoy putting on makeup and stuff) and boyish based on mood and my mood change so extremely rapid.
Any of you who has this?

Exercise generates endorphins. Hard to have dysphoria when you body is making happy juice.

Yes, exactly that. Exercise is great for abating many forms of depression.

What, about exercising? Sure, I feel guilty if I miss a day or 2. Sometimes it happens. It takes my mind off of everything else for a little while. Of course I hate getting sweaty and all that stuff though.

i know where you coming from with the fact exercise make question yourself, if thats the way to put it. i do yoga twice a week and for that 2-3 hour i feel amazing. personally for me i think it is the group is female only with all of them being the kinda age people im comfortable around and they have welcomed me with open arms and i can talk to any of them about anything.
