Need help ! #InternalPlurality #DissociativeIdentityDisorder #genderexploration #Selfcare

I am experiencing what is known as internal plurality, where I feel a strong feminine aspect in my personality named 'Yusra'. This aspect has a clear identity, interests, and desires that differ from my primary identity as a male . My relationship with 'Yusra' began as a casual online experience, but it has evolved to become an important part of my inner life. I feel vitality and comfort when expressing this aspect, but I also sometimes feel tension and anxiety about how to reconcile this experience with my personal and religious values.I am now at a stage where I am trying to understand and accept this plurality, and find healthy ways to express 'Yusra' while maintaining balance in my life. I am seeking professional help to better understand this experience and develop strategies for healthy psychological integration.my main goal is to find a balance that allows all aspects of my personality to express themselves in a healthy way that is consistent with my values, without one aspect dominating another. I welcome any guidance or resources that can help me on this journe

Gender dysphoria sucks

I'm sitting here trying to relax and my head is pounding and I feel like I'm losing the fight against my gender dysphoria. I saw myself in the mirror in my bathroom and I panicked. I sat back down on the couch and Pauley asked if I needed help and I said I am struggling with my dysphoria. She got me a shirt and I am struggling with my hair so she's trying to help me deal with it. I just feel so awful. I'm gonna try to relax. But right now I'm in some serious pain. My tummy is not handling my dysphoria well at all.

Tip to help with gender dysphoria. Week 1

Of course, I am not an expert, even though I am diagnosed with Gender Dysphoria, So I looked into multiple sources to give this week's tip.

The tip of the week. Try to understand what you are feeling. Don't deny the feelings. Don't try to ignore them. I tried to ignore the feelings for years and its only come back, but worse. Gender Dysphoria is not a comfortable thing, but ignoring it is never the answer.

Next week I will give tips for the other topic that won the vote (See the 21/1/25 or 1/21/25 Tuesday question to see what the other topic ). And if you have any questions about this week's tip, please comment down below. I will try to answer them as best as I can.

Tuesday question and Poll results

Its Tuesday. And the poll has ended. As with the results of the poll, I will start posting tips on Gender Dysphoria and tips for dealing with side effects of testosterone and estrogen first few months.

I will start after this question is posted. Todays question. Would you rather read a book, or watch a movie/show. If you want to answer, why?

I would rather read a book. Sure, I like a lot of Movies and shows, but reading is more calming for me.

Thank you to everyone who voted! And thanks everyone who joined!

Dysphoria sucks

I don't have top dysphoria and I don't usually have bottom dysphoria*. But like right now when I have a yeast infection I feel broken. I feel so gross. But one of my most important mottos is "treat the body you have". I'm taking my meds and pauley helps by putting the betamethasone clotrimazole cream on my open sores. Id be lost without her. The pain is at 7 and the itching is at 7 also. I'm very uncomfortable. Pauley said it looks pretty bad.

Yes I am trans and would love to be the manliest man of mantown but I never will be. And that's ok because I still like some feminine clothes and my style is very mixed.

I am back on testosterone and letting it do its magic. My facial hair is coming in thick. Especially down the sides of my face. The only facial hair that isn't growing better is my wimpy mustache.

My voice is cracking again so it's getting deeper. But I'm also breaking out with acne on my torso and chest. My scalp and facial psoriasis is awful and it's effecting my beard.

So some good, plenty of bad. Such is life.

*Dysphoria: imagine you were born with a penis on your forehead. Everyone says it's normal because it's how you were born. But you don't feel right. You're uncomfortable, anxious, depressed, and want to have it removed because for you it doesn't feel normal.

Just a small vent

Tw//// slight Transphobia and Homophobia

(Words with **___** around them are words that would have been in caps, I just don't like to use them.)

So, I've been talking about my male guardian lately in my posts that aren't related to my LGBTQ group. This should be my last one, I just want to get this off my chest.

So, this happened a while ago, before I had this app, I was trying to explain to my Male guardian why I wanted to be address as a male. (We've had multiple conversations about this) and I was trying to be open minded the whole time. It didn't seem my male guardian was though.

He kept turning the blame on me saying "well how do you think **I** would feel?". Like um, okay I can think about it, but you're not thinking about how this is making **me** feel. The whole conversation was me trying to get him to understand, and him trying to play victim.

One of the times we had the conversation, He used the "But I had visions. I was going to walk you down to get you married off. I was going to be there when your first child was born." thing.

Sure, I was thinking about how he would feel, but like 1. I was still willing to let him be at my wedding; I don't have to be a girl for him to do that. But when he said get me married off, I completely changed my mind about even wanting him there. It just felt uncomfortable when he said that. and 2. I won't ever have children. I have a phobia of them so that would not make a good life for a kid. And I would never want one to suffer.

I'm not trying to play victim here, I just wish my male guardian would try to understand. He was not very supportive of my past 2 relationships, both with people of the same gender.

So, when he said he'd try to do better, I was very excited. But literally like all he did was allow me to buy a trans pride flag. he didn't buy me one, he just let me press order and then give him the money for it. Like oh. Thanks dad. And I'm not really allowed to have it outside of my room.

And you could say he just needs time. I've been out to him for about 5 years now. I've been patient. I've never forced things on him. I just needed to get this off my chest. I will continue to give him time to try to understand. I won't give up on him yet. I just wish I could have my gender validated more than it is now.

Well, thank you for reading and maybe even commenting.

Today's coffee adventure

I made a pot of salted caramel flavor coffee. It smells sooooooo good. I mixed it with caramel butterscotch syrup, half of a can of Spylt chocolate milk drink, and oat milk. Gosh it's delicious.#coffeeadventures I didn't go to bed until almost 5am. I woke up at noon. I was up looking at my X-ray pictures. Pauley was like we have no business looking at these. I just enjoy looking at my imaging pictures.

She's been looking at pictures of puppy girls. I'm a puppy boy. It makes me feel inadequate. I don't know how to tell her how it makes me feel. She thought I eluded to wanting to be a girl and I tried to explain I'm a genderqueer boy. Yeah I have some women's clothes but I am androgynous in how I dress. She was confused. I need to get more boy clothes.

Its Friday

We did it. Its Friday. I know right now, I don't have any members in my group, but I still want to try to post daily here.

What's one thing this week that brought you joy? It can be something small, or something big. Whatever you want to share. I'll go first.

One thing that brought me joy this week is my dog. She's finally beginning to learn how to play fetch which is amazing. She is a working dog who does so much for my community.

Now it's your turn. But remember, you don't need to answer. These questions are always optional. And remember, you don't just have to be under the trans and non-binary umbrellas to answer. You can be an ally or know someone who is as well.

For those who answer, thank you for reading and answering.

Edit: Thank you to the three people who joined the group today.
