I can't deal with chest dysphoria
Hello like we all know it's getting summer again and i loveee summer actually but my chest dysphoria is destroying it for me. In the next months I will see so many shirtless guys outside and looking at them hurts so deeply. I bind since abt 4 years constantly and the last weeks i got chestpain as soon as I try to bind for a second. It was winter so I could just wear a thick hoddie so I didn't had to bind. But now it's warm and I don't know how to survive. I tried tape but that hurts and I'm to stup1d for it so It doesnt bind completely flat. I'm In painnnnn. I want to enjoy summer and the sun and swimming because I love that but I can't because of that stupid chest. I feel so major dysphoria. I just know that I will have 100 dysphoria breakdowns this summer. Idk what to do help
It makes me want to isolate and stay In my room the entire summer
@communicativeApple9560 Thank you for reaching out and expressing your thoughts with us, Apple. I hear you how you are experiencing deep discomfort due to seeing shirtless guys during summer which has been exacerbated by your binding causing chest pain. That sounds painful both physically and emotionally. How does binding make you feel about yourself?
Hello thanks you for responding and for being understanding : ) binding makes me feel survivable. Like with binding i could survive that entire being trans thing.
@communicativeApple9560 It's great to hear that binding has made you feel more comfortable with your body.
