@Deads,  besides discussing LL in this forum and with the friend you mentioned, are you discussing it with family members, girlfriend, etc.,   just wondering if this helps getting over the dysphoria.

Since joining this forum, I have spoken to my gf about the procedure, my mock-ups, proportions, the whole lot (she must get sick of it). I've told my sister briefly about it... I don't have dismorphia, but in terms of reducing how obsessed I was over this procedure, talking to them didn't help. What helped, was that the initial novelty of this procedure wore thin and I realised that 5-6cm isn't a HUGE difference.. I've never had any issues at my height and it makes me question whether it's worth it.. So, the main thing that has alleviated my obsession is being realistic.. I'm still in love with the idea, but not as much as I initially was.

If I was shorter than I am now, it might be a different story haha.

I agree with you.   The way I see it is if there is even just a little doubt in the back of your mind whether you should do LL, then you are not ready to go through with it.  I'm only about 95% ready to do this, but this last 5% is killing me inside to the point that I have trouble concentrating in other things.

Nope. I just can't get over it. I think if i had 5 cm longer tibias, i would be a lot happier in life. It has become an obsession to me.  5 cm tibial lenghtening in the far future and everything will be solved. To be honest, i don't feel so short at my height. Yeah i am short but this is not the only reason. I really want long lower legs.
