One thing they don’t tell you about top surgery:
You’re gonna have a hormone crash, and it’s gonna be weird, and for the first couple days you’re gonna feel weird and bad emotionally and maybe feel like you made a mistake.
Yeah, that’s actually normal. Your breasts produce hormones and trigger hormone production elsewhere, and removing them induces something like a mild form of postpartum depression.
IT WILL PASS.
For the first few days I couldn’t even glance at my chest without feeling horrible, like I’d done something egregious. A few days later and I’m fine and thrilled, just as I thought I would be. The hormone crash is real, it’s okay, and don’t freak out about it too much. It will pass. You’ve done the right thing and you know it.
Hormones are just weird and evil.
you might feel moody, depressed, etc after surgery but that’s normal for any surgery. telling people they’re going to have what is essentially postpartum depression after they have top surgery is unnecessarily scaring people because a lot of people already fear having surgery because they’re afraid of post op depression. saying it’s hormonal makes people more sure they’ll experience it and more afraid, when the truth is that lots of people don’t have post op depression.
i know this has been discussed before on this post but i keep seeing misinfo reblogged and spread everywhere
