Diary...story kinda

[w33d]

Hey everyone, new here just wanted to share some thoughts and talk about this to many including my self, greatly embarrassing topic.

I first noticed something when i was 13. My chest just didn't seem to be like all the other guys. Eventually when i got to the age of around 15 was when i really noticed that my chest looked nothing like a normal guys chest.

I continued to go with self hating loathing etc for quite some time. sometimes are worse than others, but the amount of hate i had for my own body in high school was crippling to my confidence etc. I would always be thinking about how other people saw me through their eyes, which didn't help anything at all.

Whenever i look in the mirror and more importantly down from my chin, the only words that come to my mind is hate and disgust.

This thing has forever scared my life, and i still currently live with it. In high school i lost many opportunities due to the fact that i would simply never go anywhere that i didn't have to go to,or participate in due to me not wanting to be seen by other people. I always want to and wish to participate in thing such as various sports, but i simply can't bring myself to do it.

All i want is my life back this bloody thing has pretty much ruined all my social life and confidence, i continually find my self asking questions like why me, what did i do to deserve this disease!

no one i know has this, which makes me feel even more alone but im glad to find an outlet such as this to share my feelings.

Yes, there can be a great deal of Emotion and Stress Living with Gynecomastia as is expressed very well by this video.  Take some time to listen to that patient's experiences to learn why, as a surgeon, I really enjoy my sculpture and how it changes my patients' lives.

Hope this helps,
