self harm and other dysphoric patternsA lot of the stuff in that post was me vent dumping because I woke up in pain for the seventh day in a row, feeling overwhelmed, alone, in despair, and left out.

It's less about using a hormone to correct behavior, then me being miserable and how I take that out on people that I care about. Including myself through self harming behaviors. And I'm pretty sure at this point since I've come out of the closet that much of my chronic pain is the tension of living with gender incongruence for four decades. Trying to hide my queerness, even from myself.

Like a much better post would have been I've been in pain for 7 days and am feeling scared and overwhelmed, that this is hopeless. Because that's what I was actually feeling and I was alone and blamed it all on her.

And when we did talk through things, and talk about safety in the relationship, we did find emotional intimacy. And a lot of my physical tension and pain subsided with the anger. When I could just sit in my fears and insecurities and tell myself I am feeling scared.

I don't think testosterone is helping me in that regard.

spoilerI'm glad you were able to work it out with her. It sounded pretty bad meow-hug

I'm also glad that you're working through these feelings and growing.

And a lot of my physical tension and pain subsided with the anger. When I could just sit in my fears and insecurities and tell myself I am feeling scared.

You should be on T-blockers because it will help you achieve your gender identity, but I think you'll really bloom by following the line you laid out above.

Wishing you two a happy year as you start transition ๐ŸŒน
