Hey guys I’ve been trying to tape for the last couple months and every time it puts me in immense pain :(
Ive tried several different brands and I’m not allergic to the tape, I’ve done the patch test with every brand.
I’ve been trying the milk of magnesia thing and I think it’s slightly helping but not enough to not hurt.. my partner helps me put the tape on, we make sure to not over stretch the ends but no matter what it pulls on my skin and gives me a open wound and I have scars all over my sides now.
I have binders and don’t mind binding but in the summer it’s a sensory nightmare to feel hot and constricted and the binder gets sweaty and I just hate it all. It makes me not want to go anywhere because i hate the way my chest looks and I have no comfortable way to bind or tape :( I’m hoping to get too surgery in the next year or so but obviously that’s not helpful right now

Hello everyone
I’ve been watching one kiddo since she was 1.5 and now she is 5 years old. She goes to preschool during the day and I spend the day with her little sister (20 mo). So most of the day I just have the younger one but in the morning I take the older one to school and I also pick her up in the afternoon.
The 5 year olds behavior has genuinely gotten so bad I am considering quitting or going down to part time. I am fully aware that some of this is developmentally normal, I have been working in childcare since high school as well as studying it in college. This is beyond my what is normal.
Every single morning it’s genuinely pulling teeth to get her ready for school. I am the only one of makes her dress herself independently which she seriously screams and cries about the entire time. And then when she’s done she will take her shoes and socks off and throw them. She’ll run away screaming and crying saying I’m so mean or one of her parents is mean and hurting her. I just feel like 85% of the time she’s genuinely losing her shit and it’s so exhausting.
She is usually nice and loving to her baby sister but also will take toys or food from her. She’s kicked a pillow out from under the little sisters head which really send me into a tizzy because baby girl’s head smacked on the ground.
Again I realize a lot of this may fall into the spectrum of what is normal for a 5 year old but it’s beginning to feel abnormal because I work with several other 4/5/6 year olds that do not act like this to this degree or this often.
Her parents in my opinion are kind of gentle parenting people like always trying to talk and hug her to make her feel better. She doesn’t ever really receive consequences for her actions.
Has anyone had a similar experience? I’m starting to think she has some sort of emotional or mental health problem truly because it’s that extreme. I’m hoping before the summer is in full swing I can go down to part time because I genuinely will be so miserable if I have to be with her full time while she’s out of school.

Hey everyone i am one month on T and starting to look into getting top surgery sometime in the next 1-2 years. I have a pretty small chest I would say a B cup at the largest. I am hoping to be able to get a periareolar procedure so I have minimal scarring. I live in CLT North Carolina and am looking for surgeon recommendations in the state I would love as close to clt as possible but also open to the rest of the state and near by South Carolina even. Thank you so much if you have any recommendations
