See a LOT of chix here posting all kinds of stuff these days,, About Gender Dysphoria and a number of other things in general. What to do and how to do it, And me I am NO EXPERT by any means of the word at all,, But I can tell you all I know and what may happen to a Person that is about my age when they start the Meds.
Don't expect alot quick, Just settle down and enjoy the quite time in your head first off. And expect nothing at first and just be happy for what you get right away. Next you can plan to fail or fail to plan or whatever you choose but nothing will go as you think it will, It never does, You can not ever see into the future nor can you know what someone else is thinking, So just go on with your life and try and be as positive as you can.
What no one ever tells you anywhere is all of us here are born Male and grow up male and are raised male to think male and act male and as for the older ones of us we never really knew what the Hell was wrong with us and there for just accepted that we were Crazy or Gay or weird or what ever else you could think. We are Male,, In every way except that one little bitty spot in out brains that tells the rest of your self who or what you are and it is the size of a pencil eraser. But the rest of our Body, Hormones, And self are male in every way except that.
If not for that one little bitty thing we would be Great,, But were not and this whole deal is basicly new to most of the world and we are just the Pioneer's of this new order of things that will become the norm in years to come long after we are dead and gone Believe that !! But thanks to the Internet us older chix now no why we are Broken,,lol,,,
But for now there is no set secrete way to deal with it, No set of rules to follow,, Even the Therapist can't get it correct 100% of the time so we do the best we can until we get somewhere comfortable enough to sustain ourselves and get on with our own lives .
The dyphoria will come and go from time to time,, And we have to deal with it off and on,, I have been medicated for 18 months and still it comes and goes, When my wife jokes about something towards (her) aka Dr Jeckll,, I just laugh and say leave her Alone she sleeping,, And Mr Hyde is here right now,, And he is not always a very nice person but with the meds I can now control his ass,, Because it is Funny but true as Hell we are 2 people . I know I am truely 2 people inside of one body and that is how I deal with all of this and she knows it (WIFE) ,,,lol,,,
Because true be told when SHE is sleeping aka Dr Jeckll,, I like it and leave her be,, Because if we were really Lucky there would be a way they could go into your head and change that one little bitty thing and we could have everything solved really quickly and get back to living and not have to change EVERYTHING just to get some relief !!! So all of you new chix don't expect these folk to have all the answer there just here to give there support and let you know your not Alone in the world and tell you little tid bits of how they get by,, No one could EVER TELL IT ALL !!! Not a person on the planet has that good of memory nor could recall all the crap we did and been through,,lol,,,
Just learn like me how to control Mr Hyde,, And be thankful when He comes back and gives you a Break from the rest,,lol,,, He's not so bad,, So pick what you want from this forum and plow your own garden out of it and just be Happy these folks were Cool enough to manage a place like this for us to come and learn and grow and talk to one another,, They didn't have too,,,!!!
