Does your gender dysphoria ever make you cry?

I get really sad but not enough to cry. My dysphoria is definitely not the worst kind ever.

 

i'm not sure if i cry competely due to dysphoria, but i often cry because i am frustrated and upset with being born female. usually it isn't because of my body or because someone called me by the wrong pronouns -- it's usually just the entire, overwhelming situation.

 

It has before. But not often.

 

Sometimes I wonder if I'm the only trans guy that cried about dysphoria. I cried often during my late teens and nobody knew. I've also had panic attacks over it. There are many ways to experience it. It's weird that at first I typed picnic attacks.

I'm learning to accept the pain and not deny the extent of it. The pain would find a way to come out anyway. Crying for several minutes is better than being furious for several weeks. I reckon most people cry or want to cry more than they let on.

I had a terrible day about two weeks ago. I wished that I would black out. Eventually my thoughts turned dark and I cried about all my pains including dysphoria. I try to see the positive in it.

I'm tired of the 'man up' thing and the brainwashing. Strong people are in touch with their feelings. It doesn't mean you should burst into tears in public because you stood on a snail. We control our actions and we should try to be reasonable... without turning into a robot. It's important to honour our feelings and let them out where it wouldn't look weird. See also "The Japanese Samurai Code: Classic Strategies for Success" xD I read it for business and I think it makes a better self-help book.

 

I used to more, but yeah I cry when I get my periods.. but idk if that counts

 

I used to get depressed in my heavy dysphoric episodes (Last November-December), and then I would cry for no reason. I would also get like three panic attacks a day, which could make me cry too from the lack of breath. I never did it in front of anyone. When it happened, I would lock myself in my room until it was over and if I couldn't, I would summon all my energy to stop myself. I ended up being exhausted at school because the direction made me so dysphoric, even though I told them that it was literally destroying me, they told me to deal with it. My dysphoria caused me depression, which lead me to cry for no reason all the time. This is a common way to deal with dysphoria, I think.

 

Also not often, but yes, I do.

Mostly, it stems from the thought of never being able to be who I am. Other times, it stems from the thought of others never accepting me.

I don't think I've ever cried over my body, unless you count it indirectly. It's just that seeing my body reminds me of who others see me as, and that's just a shitty feeling. Otherwise, I just feel really uncomfortable.

 

Cried once. I just get depressed as hell and the f word drones incessantly in my head.
Also I get extremely irritated, the polar opposite of my usual demeanor.

For me dysphoria often sends me into shutdown mode. I'm high-functioning autistic.

 

Depending on what triggers it. Sometimes I thought I could never cry anymore. Sometimes I cry like something in me broke.

Just listened to some songs about transgender people today and my goodness, I couldn't stop the tears. Just had to rocking back and forth while hugging my teddy bear till I calm down.

 

At worst, I'll just feel rather humbled, maybe a little sigh, but then I move on. This tends to happen, when I see a lovely lady in person, on television, or on some magazine, and it happens to fit my "ideal image".

Otherwise, I handle it pretty well.

 

I used to all the time, before I figured out what was up with myself. Also feeling suicidal was pretty normal for me.

Now I only cry when I have my shark week. Anger and tears. That's all I feel during that time.

 

It makes me cry quite often... Almost daily. Suicidal thoughts have been fairly common, but things have gotten better since I got my hair cut. My friend always listens when I need her though.

 

I cry sometimes too! I actually just bawled all over my boyfriend last night because of gender stuff. I just got that stupid time of the month on Saturday and I've been feeling soo shitty about it, I couldn't hold it in anymore and I started crying and venting about how much it was stressing me out. I've always had depression problems, but it's been getting really really bad lately, and then this stupid time of the month didn't help. At all. I freaking hate these times, I really wish I didn't get the damn thing. It makes me feel like total shit, worse than anything else does. And I'm only out to a few people, so I can't really be myself much right now. So I think that got to me too and I just lost it, and I just bawled all over him and got his shoulder soaked with my tears...DX He was really cool about it and comforted me, but I wish I didn't get that distressed over being trans. I can't help it though. It's sooo disabling sometimes, it's hard not to cry sometimes. I'm not that bad all the time. Sometimes, I'm relatively okay, with just a kind of uncomfortable feeling in the back of my thoughts. But sometimes, something like that time of the month will hit me all of a sudden and I'll completely lose it and be out of it for a little while. It really freaking sucks; I wish I was cis. I can't wait to actually get my transition started so I don't feel so horrible about myself anymore.
