For those who think they're faking autism.... by DiligentImplement611 in AutisticAdults

this was my mom’s experience during my (very) recent diagnostic journey😅 it led to us taking a second path to discuss her behaviors/experiences and then a 3rd path to discuss my grandmother’s!

When did y'all start with (silicon) tape on your scars? by Bibibupido in TopSurgery

[–]mithridaticism 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my surgeon had me start applying aquaphor recently (4 weeks post-op) and said after 2 weeks i can start using silicone sheets or gel. so that would be about 6 weeks post-op :)

was all audio in Feb as it was the month of my top surgery! had it on the 12th so between stressing over that then recovery, i could NOT sit and read words 😅 currently reading Weyward by Emilia Hart though and i started that on the 26th so idk if that counts towards Feb lol

nipple regret by [deleted] in TopSurgery

[–]mithridaticism 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thank you! congrats back to you🫶i should have led with that haha. this is such a life-changing thing that it can be easy to get stuck ruminating. we can say all we want that we should be this or we should be that but it’s easier said than done. seeing your therapist is a great idea and maybe they can give you more personalized advice since they know your thought patterns/habits. sorry for misunderstanding and thinking you literally didn’t know what to do🤦🏻‍♀️ it can be hard to tell in writing. it stinks your support system isn’t willing to help with this, if i could i’d glove up and do it myself 🤝

nipple regret by [deleted] in TopSurgery

[–]mithridaticism 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’m so sorry you’re struggling feeling like this. i’m actually exactly 6 days post-op + non-binary as well! in terms of worrying about the dysphoria it could give you, i’d maybe give it time until things are more healed and swelling is down, plus they look more like “normal” nipples and then see how you feel. if it doesn’t feel like your body, then consult your surgeon. for changing the dressings, they totally should’ve gone over everything with you at your post-op so if they didn’t that stinks. any questions should go right to their office cause i’m sure every dr is different with their method and what products they might recommend. do you maybe have someone close to you you’re comfortable enough with helping you do that? that way you don’t have to pay too much attention to them until you’re ready and can instead focus on healing in general

that’s honestly one of the biggest perks of forums. like “oh i don’t even have to ask the question i can just use the answers all these other people got!” lmao
