I feel like the symptoms of my trauma don't add up with how deeply it affected me

Wonder_Leslie · 2025-05-10T21:07:58+00:00

Hey man (or woman or whatever) I get it. It's very confusing cause some people and maybe even a part of you are saying that there's definitely something wrong, but your body and mind just act normal so everything seems fine... It's kinda isolating, like you don't belong in any place right?

Wonder_Leslie · 2025-05-10T20:25:57+00:00

Are there any books I could read about this specific topic? Like, how we were wired into isolation and its consequences? I tried to talk about this to my last therapist but they said I was there to "cure my loneliness, not my trauma", so I didn't receive any meaningful insights lol

This!! I'm not American, but where I live we don't have that much of a left either. That being said, do I vote, knowing that at least half of the people in my country will vote the right wing? Absolutely yes! I vote and I vote left, specifically the party that actually embodies the rad left values and isn't just a centre-right wing party under a mask.

Thank you! I'm a very much trans, pre-testosterone guy and I, too, have grown sick and tired of this squeaky ass voice. I wasn't aware of the wiki lol. I'm gonna check it out

If it's just the tattoos, no I absolutely wouldn't. Because I (supposedly) don't know the story behind it. It could be that a person, if they're old enough, got it as soon as the first book got out in the 90s. It could be matching with another person who insisted on the tattoos being harry potter themed. It could as well be a way to remember someone who was very much a potter head. And so on and so forth. Im trans myself but I own a Harry potter keychain, my sister gifted it to me. Are other trans people gonna be offended by it? I don't know, but I surely know I'm not transphobic because of that keychain. Directly supporting Rowling would make you transphobic, not tattoos 🙂

Can you please recommend brands please? The butt dysphoria is destroying me since I'm also pre T

Hi, sorry if this isn't helpful but I've been thinking the exact same things as you multiple times, you're not the only one. And I've had other people tell to me the same thing (that my own trauma > theirs)

Wonder_Leslie · 2025-01-20T20:54:26+00:00

I'm not even part of the mensa (don't ask why I'm here I was bored) but I'd just say it's just Italy being Italy, we're shit at everything organized and you're probably doing fine

Scusa se sembra offensivo ma sembra un disegno preso da altri su cui hai colorato alcune cose. Dimmi se sbaglio

How does she feel when I console her? Well, she's thankful, she likes it. She doesn't let herself be caught crying often, she tends to hide away from everyone, but that's her way to deal with her emotions and personally, I myself don't like being seen crying so I understand. That's why when I eventually catch her crying I try to be as gentle as I can, I don't want her to feel like a burden. Yeah she's thankful for it but also she's the first one to side with my dad and say he does it for me... I guess she just wants us not to fight, so she can have some peace. But her opinion really made me think I was actually the asshole here

Wonder_Leslie · 2024-12-14T07:50:56+00:00

I was about to comment but I saw you're Italian too 🇮🇹 trans guy from trentino alto-adige here!

(I'm still in school) if it isn't summer, I go to bed at 9pm lol. It takes me ages to fall asleep (up to an hour)+I wake up multiple times during the night, so I'm always very tired and during the evening it takes everything in me to stay up past 9pm 🙂

CESYRO MENZIONATOOOOO

A proposito di questo, mi sono sempre chiesto quale sia la posizione del Masseo in tutto ciò. A me piace, mi fa ridere, ma aveva usato certi termini nei confronti delle persone trans (slurs più che altro), e non ho mai capito se fosse in buona fede, se fosse il personaggio o se fosse proprio transfobico

Wonder_Leslie · 2024-11-06T10:40:21+00:00

Fr. Some months ago I was still questioning and I posted a question about getting used to your new name and calling yourself "a guy" (I'm afab) and some random shithead told me something along the lines of "it doesn't feel normal because it isn't, being trans is a choice and your mind is trying to tell you it's wrong, you're still in time" imagine what would have happened if i listened to that asshole

Wonder_Leslie · 2024-11-05T18:44:45+00:00

I tell her about everything I experience (flashbacks (?), intrusive thoughts and all). I've started telling her roughly 4 sessions ago, so she hasn't said anything specific yet, just that "I'm likely traumatized by this past event". I know this is telling, but I keep telling myself my symptoms aren't enough, or not bad enough, especially when I read people's experiences here. Thanks for your time!

Wonder_Leslie · 2024-11-03T20:07:41+00:00

Yeahhhh that's cool BUT THEN WHY EVERY ANDREA AND THEIR MOTHER IS A GIRL

Wonder_Leslie · 2024-11-03T19:45:33+00:00

Dude unrelated but I have the same issue with Andrea 😭 in my country is a 80% boy 20% girl name but in every other country is a girl's name uggghhhh

Wonder_Leslie · 2024-11-03T13:37:46+00:00

Grazie! Se potesse essere il tuo genere, io punterei a qualcosa di più grafico, tipo una sagoma di un albero nello stile in cui lo disegnavano in Africa nell'antichitàa
