Hi.

Long time lurker, first time poster.

I had my kid (at home) 12 years ago. Finally got top surgery last week and have just been floored by the emotional intensity of it.

I was just thinking today how much like post partum this is.

On one hand you're excited, and you've got this thing you've been excited for, and everyone around you expects you to be excited too, on the other hand you just experienced trauma, and your body isnt working right and everything is frayed and sensitive.

Giving myself a little grace to cry and be sad between the fits of euphoria. It's the most Ive cried since I started T almost 3 years ago.

Thought y'all might relate.
