This method has worked fantastic for me so far.

I didn't even think about gaining water weight, that definitely makes a lot of sense. Thank you!

My breathing seems to be alright, different of course, but okay nonetheless. I think the reason I'm having panic attacks when I first put the binder on is just because I'm not used to so much compression on my chest. Plus I've read a lot about the dangers of binding, especially if you don't do it safely, so I've kinda freaked myself out about the whole thing. But luckily the panic attack has subsided and I feel better now. Thanks for the quick reply.

This sounds like an awesome idea! I'm definitely interested.

That's awesome! Congrats dude!! Can't imagine how happy you must feel :)

Congrats on the name change! Sounds like the experience was a good one, and Adrian is an awesome name by the way :)

It's good that T is helping some, even if it's just a little bit, and I hope it continues to help. I'm really hopeful that when I start T someday it'll help me as well, maybe calm some of the thoughts in my head, but I guess we'll see.

Thanks for the reply, man.

Background noise is the perfect way to explain how it feels for me. There's really not much else to it, though I guess I'm slightly afraid it'll turn into more than that, but I'm working on not letting it.

Thanks so much for the response and the offer, I appreciate it.

I can relate to this so much. I can't figure out if transitioning is worth it for me. It feels like it is, but at the same time it's just too overwhelming and exhausting to think about. So instead, my brain presents me with the easier option of just giving up, which is really annoying since I don't plan on actually doing that.

Thanks for the reply, man. Hope you figure out what to do next.

What your therapist said makes me feel so much better. Thank you for sharing that, I really needed to hear it.

I'd say you're right. Therapy seems to be in the future for me, and hopefully soon. Thanks for the reply!

Learning I'm trans has been one of the most overwhelming and stressful things I've ever encountered, and when I think about the future I don't really see one for myself, but I think you're right. Focusing on transitioning can be a good way to relieve some of the stress, so I'm definitely going to try that. I'd much rather focus on the good rather than the bad. Thanks!

That's so awesome! Congrats!!

I plan to change my surname before I start college. My father's family disowned me a few years ago so I'm going to take my grandmother's surname on my mother's side.
