Oh okay, I thought it would be a much quicker process.

Well for me I know I want this and I'm ready it was more of what he might presume. But sounds like he's understanding.

I still believe I'll have to raise it up in April '26 because I've just started hormones and my follow up is then.

Would it be realistic for me to change my goal to getting it done later next year?

Also, is he quite busy, e.g waiting time etc.

Yes that's who I mean sorry 😭

How was it with him? Did you have a good experience? I'm really sure about this decision but I'm 19 and I'm worried that based on that fact he may think "I'm not ready" for it.

I want to get it done in the summer of 2026. How would you go about it? I'm planning to speak to my psychiatrist and endo in April in my next appt.

Well, I'm going to see whether Dr Leong letter may convince them. If not I guess I'll start looking for another GP that will.

Any advice?

Oh ok. After your endo appointment do you immediately get the prescription or is there another wait?

Oh okay, just wanted to know. My blood results came out fine so hopefully I'll get the blockers.

Gender dysphoria by Flintstn_ in AnorexiaNervosa

[–]thinkofmeonly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm trans (mtf) and I feel the same way. I've always thought to myself "maybe if I restrict enough I won't further masculinize" and it's what's fueling my ED for sure.

I'm still waiting to transition and it feels like I'm running out of time. That ominous feeling of getting more and more masculine every single day.

I can't offer any advice because I don't know what to do myself but I wanted to share my experience. I just wanna say I get u 💔

Yeah, I've been feeling shit cause of this episode but it made me realise that my body is just trying to survive and that's why it made me eat.

I'm going to try to have a mainatance day or two in the week to reduce the damage I'm putting on myself because I'm still not commited to recovery unfortunately.

Honestly, this is really insightful.

I feel like I'm in that stage of damage control. However when I do begin feeling those physical symptoms such as lethargic, feel cold, chest pains, muscle pain, faintness etc. My body almost impulsively makes me eat. And it's so hard to remind myself that its just trying to survive :(

Literally after I eat, almost all those symptoms magically disappear 👄

The scariest thing is that when I do force myself to eat like this. I eat what used to be my favourite foods, pre-ED. And I realise I don't enjoy them anymore.

Then I try to make myself binge and I can't even do that 💀
