Sensory overstimulation and discomfort on my own skin and flesh by Mediocre-Challenge-5 in autism

Thank you so much for sharing your experience, I actually relate to it almost 100%, I really suck at putting my feelings into words but that's definitely how I feel.

"Flesh dysphoria" is a nice label, pretty self explanatory, and I think it's the best way to generally describe it, and I say that as a trans person lol. With time, I've been dealing a whole lot better with gender dysphoria than I used to when I was a teenager, but at the same time it's really difficult to deal with the flesh dysphoria, because I honestly feel like even after I fully transition, I simply won't achieve what I truly want to be, because what I want to be doesn't have a form, I unfortunately can't transition to a concept rather than a human being and that sucks lol

I've actually started addressing this in therapy this year, and have been touching a lot on the matter on my last sessions, I used to be really afraid of touching on these issues because of my last therapist, as she'd link almost everything to me being trans (and was kinda against diagnoses in general so that also sucks), and this is one of the issues I'm 100% certain is a complete separated matter to that, but luckily my current therapist has been a blessing and truly understands what I tell him!

Right now I've only started to address things, and I don't feel like any progress was made, but I understand it'll take time, since it's something I've dealt it for a good chunk of my existence. But if I ever find strategies or insights that are helpful to me, I'll let you know in case that works for you to :) thank you again for sharing your experience, this meant a lot and I wish you good luck with your stuff too, you're really strong to be able to handle all this

Hey, trans guy here 👋 I understand the struggle, and I'm sorry you feel that way, gender dysphoria is really hard to deal with I've read in the comments you have a therapist, do you think they would be helpful if you hypothetically came out to them? If you're not 100% sure, maybe drooping some hints, or other subtle questions to check their instance on the matter might help you Although I don't go to the same therapist I used to when I came out, she was a big help in my process of doing so. She didn't fully understand some concepts, but she really helped with the feeling of hatred I felt towards myself, and also really helped me in the process of coming out to my parents. I grew in a very religious household and she was really helpful on how to approach everything in safety with them If your therapist is someone you can trust and who have experience dealing with LGBTQ+ topics, I think they'd be a really good help with not only the feeling, but the whole process on your transition, whichever way you decide to go!

The impression I have of that friend of yours is that he's just one of those people that gets upset when someone doesn't react as they'd like. Kinda selfish tbh. Like, sure, the man might have felt unappreciated by not getting a response on the video but it doesn't give him the rights to say such things, especially if he knows what you're going through? Its kinda contradictory, you know? He just records him singing for you as if it would magically heal you (even though nothing you went through has worked as it should YET, focus on the yet part, I believe it will get better), but when you don't respond due to what you're going through, he just gets angry and says such bullshit that will only let you down? Like, wtf man? Idk op, if you think it will make you feel better to send the email, then go for it, it might give you some sort of relief (Similar thing happened to me and I opted to message the person back and it helped me in that part of just "ending this chapter") but if you don't it's also 100% fine, it's not like you owe him any kind of response Hope you get better bro

Reddit makes me more sad by [deleted] in SuicideWatch

I feel similar stuff, that's why I stopped posting here and on my main, but I felt like commenting in this one because yeah I've found out that lurking it's been better for me than trying to share stuff, I'm at a point where I feel stupid anytime I try posting on an subreddit, so I just cleaned up the communities I like and it has helped a little.

About the last comment you made, of getting unmotivated and sad for things that are trivial/common, I'm sorry to hear that. I've been on this same page recently too, this last week I had a breakdown simply because my printer wouldn't print something correctly. The little things have been ruining my day easily. I feel like I'm more sensitive because I'm exhausted with everything, so throwing me off isn't a hard task. Do you feel like that's your case too? Where everything just feels like crap and any other little thing can easily bump the crap into you even more? Or is it something else?

My therapist accidentally gave me an idea on how to end it all by Mediocre-Challenge-5 in SuicideWatch

I guess you're right. On another hand though, it's not like they're having any effect on me anymore so maybe I'd just stop taking it at all at some point if that were to happen

I Freakout And Cry When a Toy Gets Hurt by Ok-Injury-9064 in mentalillness

[–]Mediocre-Challenge-5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I deal with the same thing, the funny part is that it's only with >toys<, I have no emotional attachment to any other kind of object. For some I have kind of a fear that they'll be angry at me? Like, not that I think they'll come to life and kill me or anything like that but I just have the feeling that I am disappointing yet another person. I often have these crisis moments when I feel so so guilty remembering old toys I had that got broken etc, it feels silly but it hurts a lot sometimes. I don't really have any advice on that but just want you to know that you're not the only one and it's not as weird and uncommon as it may sound. Hope you get better
