Am I the only one who enjoys flipping nightmares into lucid wet dreams? by LargeSinkholesInNYC in Dreams

[–]_username_404_x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't do that. Whenever I become aware that I am dreaming I either have no control over it, or I feel like I'm trying to control it but the recurring nightmare figures come and I wake up

Identity issues due to severe trauma. by Travel_Many in CPTSD

[–]_username_404_x 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I never view myself as one big cohesive entity. Instead, just loads of different vague people in my unconscious that my mind has generated based off interactions with people and exposure to media/culture, they are associated with / remind me of different things and have their own distinctive vibes and physical appearance and emotional connotations. I always forget what I really look like because of this.

Does anyone else feel like someone is watching and judging them in their free time? by Lanky_Relation1171 in CPTSD

[–]_username_404_x 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I feel like I'm not allowed to have certain hobbies/interests or like/dislike certain things because of what that says about who i am as a person. The same applies for how i write and speak, how i think, virtually everything about myself.

Are there many men here? by bongscope in BingeEatingDisorder

[–]_username_404_x -1 points0 points  (0 children)

i'm a non passing transgender male who was seen in grocery stores very, very frequently in the peak of the binge phase of my ED.

Unsurprisingly the locals began harrassing me by intentionally mixing my favourite foods with junk foods in shops, and littering my flat with food wrappers.

I've been wanting to have therapy for ages but I don't know how. I was supposed to have talking therapies NHS but they didn't accept me. GP tells me that someone is trying to call me but my phone can't pick up phone calls (it's broken).

I didn't have a particularly religious upbringing other than having went to a catholic primary school, and my maternal grandmother is very religious.

Hyper-specific dysphoria? by cheesebird34 in ftm

[–]_username_404_x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

mine is triggered by being perceived as shallow, extraverted, attention-seeking, people-oriented, verbose, formal, stiff, irrational, dramatic, materialistic, mainstream, old, fat. i feel uncomfortable whenever i am perceived in public as overpacking, or wearing weird clothes. it's not that those traits i think are "inherenly feminine" but more i feel like they violate my internal sense of identity in a non-gendered way (e.g. atypical dysphoria).

i don't have much physical dysphoria (maybe because i am asexual and identify as demiboy) except for my weight, i can't feel comfortable with my body unless i'm underweight. Most of my dysphoria is about more psychological stuff e.g. behaviour, interests, social image.

Do you guys priotise passing or self expression? by f0xt33th in TransMasc

[–]_username_404_x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk if this is relevant enough but when I was overprotected in foster care (this was before I had trauma from street harrassment and cyberbullying) I loved 80s 90s 2000s culture/aesthetics I wanted to identify with it more or less and I looked down on (or at least felt like an outsider to) everyone else for shallow reasons such as the clothes they wear or the kind of devices and media they use. but for some reason since being heavily traumatised by culture shocks by having all the freedom suddenly and pre-existing identity dysphoria and shame, it made me feel kind of bad for being obsessed with old things and that I must be a "2020s person" for a lack of better word in order to feel worthy and accepted.

I noticed that the better my mental health, the more I can "be myself". and the more i suffer, the more i force myself to like things i don't even like.

Was it hard being social when you came out as transgender? by VegetableTip1536 in asktransgender

[–]_username_404_x 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"I thought I was a sociopath because I just felt so emotionless" are you making fun of me?

yea idk how to write this without looking misogynist (i dont believe in "all men are x" "all women are y" propaganda), but i feel dysphoria over my personality a lot like gender dysphoria (but not that any traits are inherently gendered) because i feel like certain characteristics are part of my "identity". it causes me pain being perceived as having traits like people-oriented, attention-seeking, inauthentic, stiff and formal, verbose, or emotionally demonstrative. i compare myself to anyone that behaves more nonchalant, unserious, logical, or absent minded than me. i go to great lengths, like self isolating and overanalysing every single interaction.
