Is anyone elses dysphoria really bad when you don't sleep?

@Usseewa @Honors Ghost @Aeoryi @Hmmm lies @Keke

Uh well this doesn't really apply to me because I never get good sleep anyway.

But honestly this hasn't really been a thing for me. *shrugs*

Yeah I want to tell them, but I'm just not sure how...

I think I might be there.

It's just hard to be ready to put basically your biggest secret out there for the world. And the hard thing for me is that I don't like to be in the spotlight. I can act like I do (I think I'm a pretty good actor), but I'm actually pretty shy. I avoid difficult conversations where I can, and generally I'm a coward

Ok so, here's my words of advice: It will never not be scary. You can't just wait until you feel comfortable, because it's unlikely you ever will. And yet, you will feel so much better after you finally do.

I'll use the same pieces of advice I've given a lot of people on the Shard

  • Plan out a script, so you don't feel lost for words. You can even read from it if you like.
  • Tell your parents you have something important to tell them, and give them a date for when you will. That way, you won't be able to back out as easily
  • Just do it. Once you've done it, you can't take it back, and you can't really mess it up. So long as you do come out, you've succeeded.

My dysphoria gets better when I don’t sleep bc I get loopy and my head moves to fast for dysphoria to work

So I don’t sleep

That is strange. I just get depressed (more than usual) and suicidal and dysphoric when I'm tired

I don't know how it keeps on getting worse but I don't feel brave enough to tell her I'm trans because it kinda feels like imprinting if you know what I mean

I mean that wouldn't be the end of the world. It's an acting class and there's a zero tolerance for bullying in the class well established so I mean

but seriously what is with people thinking I'm like gay in denial...

Spoiler

is there a way to be like, not misinterpreted as gay?

then have everyone assume I'm bi

like if painting your nails is "gay" and wanting to wear feminine clothing is "femboy" like what is trans anymore *sigh*

Not even the worst thing she could've seen tbh there was like a trans meme right below it and an egg irl above

Ok well she thinks I'm like a furry or something 

Not specifically a cat boy

wait but neither of those things are inherently trans, while the former statement is just a stereotype, boys who aren't girls who want to dress fem are literally femboys, a trans girl is a trans girl whether or not she wants to dress fem

I guess you're right

On the plus side my mom did say I could start the process of waiting for five months for HRT (but doesn't think I'm trans because I didn't show the ~signs)

Wait but that's a huge improvement over the previous timeline, right?

she wants me to go to counselling to make sure I'm trans which is an issue because she won't believe me when I say I'm trans and likely won't ever

but maybe she'd believe a counsellor, someone who in her eyes, is more credible?

maybe. but most likely she won't completely and like now everything is in the hands of a third party whether they believe me or not

unsure of what'd I'd even do if they say I'm not trans or something

If they're competent, they'll believe you. At the very least, easier to convince than your mom
