I'm not much of a dysphoria poster, but...
dysphoria question
Does anyone have any methods for managing/coping with dysphoria? I can't transition any faster. I've already got girl clothes, people using my pronouns, voice training, hair removal, and a plan to start HRT.It's just that it's been very acute lately on a visual level. I'm about to adopt @Tomboymoder@hexbear.net 's strategy of never looking in a mirror, but... I'm like super vain and can't pass a mirror without looking lol
Anyway, it just hurts, and I'm solution oriented, so I just kind of want to do something about it
others may have better advice but I can relate to the solution-oriented part. I generally try to just balance it out: too much dysphoria? not enough euphoria. then i go and do something that makes me feel pretty (whilst not looking in a mirror) like painting my nails
dysphoric episodes suck, I hope you feel better soon
