boy mode, suicide attempt, and body imageWhen I'm boy moding my body image is not accurate. I 100% have had hair bangs down to my chin for over a year.

When I'm boy moding I imagine that my hair is shaved short.

I also noticed yesterday in the hospital, after boy mode landed me there by eating a bunch of pills*, that I've been covering up worry with restlessness, anger, and sensual desire. It happens reflexively. Boy mode doesn't allow for worry and this quickly blows up my relationship with my gf, other people I'm close with, and my life in general.

Noticing this distorted body image I think will help me be more mindful of myself. And challenging the false body image feels affirming even if worry is uncomfortable for me. It's also easier for my GF than this mess I keep putting her through.

*I won't say what but it was dicey. I have some schooling in pharmacology and had researched which meds and how much when upset last month. This was impulse yesterday and I quickly regretted it. I ate some activated charcoal at home and they gave me more at the hospital as well as IV fluids. I think the charcoal caught a lot of it based on subjective experience and articles I had read about overdosing on this med. There's less dangerous ones in this class I'll talk to my Dr about switching too.

boobsI think I've always had breast buds. Very sensitive nipples since puberty. A week into sub-c HRT and they're already sore when I barely bump my arm against them etc.

Iโ€™m surprised they didnโ€™t keep you longer, they did for me and mine was way less serious.

They wanted to keep me six hours. I stayed five and was at baseline when I walked out. Checked out against orders because the nursing staff was rude about me getting up to use the bathroom. And I knew that last hour was poison control erring on the side of caution considering how I felt.

Because it was impulse they didn't put a 72 hour hold on me so, they had to let me leave.

:meow-hug:

spoilerI don't know what to say, but I'm glad you backed out.

Also I really understand that sudden impulse.
