Is there a way for me to speed up getting top surgery, grease the skids n all that? I’m ending up in crisis every week with trying a shit ton of antidepressants but it’s treatment resistant. There’s a shit ton of micro tears and injuries on my chest ➡️

From binding with tape. Wearing binders gives me even more dysphoria because I only feel relief when I’m not wearing anything under my shirt and my chest is too big to not wear something so I’ve been using trans tape but I can’t sleep with it- I literally feel worse like there’s toxins going into my body- and I can’t take a shower EVERY NIGHT so I’ve torn up my skin from dry-untaping

Lowkey just tell them how much it’s fucking you up. That’s how I got mine done a year after my appointment 😭

If there was a binder that was extremely comfortable and felt like you weren’t wearing anything then I’d try it but idk of any. Taping is the only thing that makes me feel okay. I need to know if there’s a way to speed up top surgery for people in crisis

You know that joke “I went a told them I’m thinking of harming myself and others, and they gave me medications” is unironically kinda true cuz I talked about how much it affecting myself and plays a huge role in my terrible habits I have to cope with it

Yeah that makes sense! Thank you. One challenge I have is that I’m transferring care and my first PCP appt isn’t until the beginning of October and I don’t even have a consultation for surgery yet. I got a referral so I’m gonna call on Tuesday to ask but damn the waiting might just kill me. I hope not

I get how you feel, for me personally what kept me going was that I kept telling myself that it was gonna happen that I won’t have them anymore. I wish you so much luck on your journey I really hope you get approved soon!
