Fuck, you're strong to work through that! Have seen a health pro?
I'm just so glad its not pushing your dysphoria as well. I'm trans femme so I understand dysphoria and know it comes out of nowhere sometimes and can last for hours. For what it's worth I obviously read your post without being triggered and this is pretty good for me honestly.
I'm going to need to see a GP to get the rod replaced soon anyway. But yeah, like it's just, ugh. I never had any sort of dysphoria around my period because I don't get it often. Compared to a trans man/masc person who might get dysphoria due to having it often. But when I would get it it's never been the downfall of society as I know it.
Also I'm super happy you felt comfortable enough to read it <3 I tried to not make it so... weird but yeah. I understands periods are a thing some people just don't want to hear. That's valid.
Most of my close people are cis women and now I have a noticable cycle I seem to be coming to terms with being able to talk about it all a bit more. My worst dysphoria was post egg crack, pre-hrt and in the early stages when i had no t and not enough e. That time has passed. To be really female and connect as deeply as I want to with afab women I have to be open the knowledge and not be too selfish and or squeamish to back away from certain topics.
Edit, enough about me, I hope you feel better soon.
