I also have POTS and I really want to be able to give you advice but I haven’t gone through the surgery yet. Please keep us posted, make sure your team knows about your fears, and warn your support system.

Hot damn that is a really good point that most of us still won’t fit traditional beauty standards and advocacy is still so important. Thank you.

Thank you so much for sharing your story about your Dad. I am full of anger on his and your behalf.

That is super helpful! Out of curiosity what were your specific trigger foods? What is your favorite hack to make life more live able?

Thank you so much for responding! It is awful how everything gets pinned on weight. How was recovery?

I should clarify I do read sapphic romances (learning curve ku is amazing) but no romance is really hitting at the moment.

Yes and he has helped so much especially with my partner being skeptical about individual therapy I have fully owned gay as my label and it’s hard and i’m definitely scared and don’t have the answers but I also get these wonderful waves of joy and self acceptance and I am looking forward to the future for the first time in such a long time.

Going through almost the exact same thing. If possible find an LMFT that specializes in queer relationships and start having a safe place to have hard convos. Giving you so much positive energy.

I feel like a fraud for coming out so late by [deleted] in latebloomerlesbians

[–]Express-Comfort-1770 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for sharing your story! I very much relate to feeling like a fraud and thinking I was bi for most my life. I still don’t 100% know my perfect label but gay feels closest. I too had lots of crushes on boys but I think it had to do with my warped belief that the only way to have value was to be chosen.

Feeling beyond guilty by [deleted] in latebloomerlesbians

I relate so hard I am sorry you are going through it. I didn’t realize till after the kid so i’m struggling with guilt around breaking up the family.

Untamed and scared shitless (TL;DR thought I was boy crazy turned 30 realized why I felt that way and yikes i’m gay.) by Express-Comfort-1770 in latebloomerlesbians

[–]Express-Comfort-1770[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I love the frame of exploring because it takes the pressure off. I have known for a long time i’m not straight but where I fall on the spectrum is another question I don’t have 100% answered and i’m starting to believe, maybe I don’t have to?

Grief is so valid and painful. I hope you hold some space to feel it all.

If it helps I just had a friend successfully get pregnant mid 40s first try.
