How to repressSuccessful repressors please help me. I thought I could be the rocky promontory facing wave after wave and moving not a jot. But the thoughts are attacking. When I see myself in the mirror I have to hide my face in my hands. And alcohol doesn't make them go away anymore it makes them worse and I'm driven to tears I am. I can't take this I can't, I can't, I can't take this, I can't, I can't, I can't take this anymore. I am meant to be a man of iron will but even steel will crumble before a cannon and nothing prepared me for this. Nothing prepared me for when I went to the self checkout and it had a top view camera that showed my bald spot. No!!!! I don't want to put on the red dress. I must be a man of iron will.Some things I have been trying include breathing techniques. I follow the "Wim Hof" methods to help the thoughts go away, Giant breaths are what you take when you're of iron will, every breath I take makes one gender dysphoria thought go away. But the thoughts are getting more persistent. Every move I make reminds me of my male body which I try to exalt but actually hate. I wish I never woke up this morning honestly. Help me
Would getting a trans girlfriend work. I could live vicariously through her.
>>44031130repression isnt possible anymore, we live in an individualistic hedonistic society. the repressing strategies of the past (brotherhood, fellowship, solidarity) no longer work as society is structured around every man and woman for themselves. you cant repress because you know deep down all the old methods are cope and other people are living your dream life and you see it every day online and you can never have it
prozac
Hrt rep and get on fin “for hair loss” :)
>>44031130Personally I cope the same way I did as a child when I learned about dying: blind hope and denial.See, my parents foolishly signed me up for a popular science magazine as a kid (appropriately enough, it was Popular Science), so my idiot brain fell for all the breathless statements about curing all disease by 2020 and living forever via nanotechnology and shit of that nature. Just embrace onto the idea that, if you live just a few years more, the singularity will happen or whatever.Same thing with this, just gotta wait long enough for flesh to become as malleable as clay and it'll be fine. Just wait for biology to be solved, and we'll be able to be whatever we wish.(It won't happen, I know that. But it's how I hold it together.)
>>44031514this is the way!!
the problem is trying to intentionally rep rather than just not caring about the feelings because they aren't real. if you try to actively stop yourself from thinking about pink elephants, you will think about pink elephants. just chill out and be a guy
>>44031130>every breath I take>Every move I make
