    I’ve previously used a lot dxm, the accessibility of it made it very easy to use as a mental escape, even if it made me feel terrible and was fucking up my life. Solidarity comrade.

    The best thing for me was filling my time with other things, heck I’d smock cigs over dealing with what dxm did to my mental health

    dxm did help me accept I was trans though, but i think therapy would have been better than crying under a blanket on a wednesday

      For a time when I was very heavily abusing dxm I also thought I was trans. I almost scheduled a visit with a doctor to talk about my options to transition. A sudden change in my living situation forced me to cut back on the dxm use substantially, though not completely, and that desire to transition stopped almost as suddenly as it began, but that is probably just coincidental. I don’t think dxm was the reason why I had a sudden fascination with cross dressing and wanting to be a woman though. I think it just helped me explore that to the nth degree very quickly and then I just realized that it wasn’t for me.
