I felt like that too man so I appreciate you sharing this. The pressure is very real and I'm glad you've acknowledged this too. I didn't have that connection at first either and it was so bad that I had to wrap my chest back up until the next day, and I did fall into the deep depression for almost 2 months afterwards. It's a complicated soft of emotion and you're not alone Rae. Thanks for sharing man.
For sure! I'm feeling better and better each day but it was a complete shock feeling the way I did! It makes me feel better to know I wasn't the only one who experienced this.
Dude thanks for sharing this. It's super important to have as many different experiences out there as possible so people's varied feelings are validated.
I can't 100% relate in the sense that I was one of those people who felt an immediate connection to my chest. I do however relate to some of the feelings of guilt or shame, being over 9 months post op now and still adjusting mentally to the actual physical experience of having a flat chest when there seems to be this pervasive mentality of 'this is how our bodies always should have been, it feels so normal and natural'. It still doesn't feel completely 'natural' to me yet, which I feel ashamed to say because I feel like it should. No matter how much I IDENTIFY with and LOVE this body, this is also still not the body I moved through the world in for almost fifteen years which is a long time compared to nine months or in your case less than two weeks. That's nothing. It takes time to re-learn one's physical experience, especially when it changed so drastically so incredibly quickly. Sending u love and support.
Oh definitely! It was just rough, knowing I had done everything possible to mentally prepare for EVERYTHING and still have feelings I wasn't prepared for. And you're absolutely right: no matter how much I *know* this is how my body always should have been (for me personally, anyways) it's still going to take a lot of time to become accustom to this new body. Thanks for sharing this insight!
I have heard other people talk about getting used to/bonding with their new bodies. Didn't experience this but then the guilt you experience-- well, I guess I felt that at my advanced age I didn't have to save for six zillions years. Give yourself a break, but I'm glad that you posted. Also I wouldn't forget that your body has been thru a LOT of stress with anesthesia and surgery, and how you experience this is different than the way someone else might.
I completely agree! I am feeling better each day - it was just that initial shock that took me by surprise...
Rae- I had that same experience- it was a while before it felt like MINE, and before I had that "moment."
Love you, kid. Take your time in adjusting to your body. As my mom always told me, it's about the journey, not the destination.
Absolutely - The more time I spend in this new body, the better and better I feel. I just wasn't prepared for that initial shock! Thanks, papí! :D
I should add that I think that part of my experience was due to my weight-I still have body dysphoria because I'm about 35-40 lbs over what I should be... Maybe more? So, I still so t have the j
I still don't have the body I envision- although I'm working on that. But it's hard. I don't know how much is just gender dysphoria. (I'm half asleep and typing on my phone, excuse any typos or babbling.
That definitely makes sense... I'm glad to know others felt the way I did!
