Struggling with Recovery as a Trans Masc/Nonbinary Person

yesss I am nonbinary and am always being misgendered in treatment which just makes my mental health worse

yes! being hospitalized with women always made me feel like i was never seen as agender. i understand the reasoning behind it, being sex & safety, but it always made me feel invalidated. recovery is hard. i gain weight in areas where i wish i didn't. however, exercising & building muscle instead of restricting/doing mostly cardio has helped me significantly.

I can also relate to this. LGBTQ+ folks are much more at risk for developing an ED and it’s so rarely talked about. You’re not alone 💕

Oh, absolutely... I can relate with restricting to pass better. That’s why I started restricting, well, one of the reasons why. My restriction has always been tied to dysphoria in some way. So, yeah, recovery has been a bit difficult because of that.
