how do you all deal with dysphoria / it feels so intimidating / and insurmountable / and i just wanna be rid of it
Peel yØur skin Øff, that’s what I dØ #gØre #selfharm
i internalize it until it goes away. or i walk into something and feel like my boob got stabbed and it goes away.
already doing that / actually
what / i'm confused
🃏༘⋆Its always hard dealing with dysphoria. Its deeply devastating What is usually try and do is list things out that make me happy. Clothes, food, people, and then I list out qualities in myself that match those things. And I put on clothes I find pretty, and i just focus on how it makes me feel instead of how i think it makes me look. When im in a better head space i slowly start styling the outfit with other add ons till I feel at least ok about it.༘⋆
the knee jerk reaction is to give a silly self-deprecating response but i think everyone p much has tht covered already so... i try to think abt what sort of things normally make me feel good in my own skin. like, i look back to times when i felt confident and happy and figure out what specific elements of tht situation made me feel tht way, then try to reproduce tht so i might be able to feel tht way again
well this probably won't work for everyone but i just kind of threw myself into the plot point and sorted out my gender stuff while i went. jokes aside, you just have to push on and hope it subsides.
well, if you mean the first part, i try to ignore it! it takes awhile. for the second part, uh. they're like. sensitive. and hitting them hurts like hell, but it's a good reminder that i'm a girl!
its difficult. but reassurannce. annd self care. will guide the way to happinness it will all be. okay inn the ennd. you are loved. nno matter how you are
i know i'm late / but our strategy is often to do our best to not visibly see ourself / and do our best to remain in spaces where we can control our appearance better / i know it has a reputation / but things like vrc are genuinely used in some cases / to help people deal with dysphoria / or experiment with their identity / to see what they're most comfortable with
