How do you combat dysphoria in order to be yourself? I find myself struggling to dress the way I want to, love the way I want to, and even try makeup because I constantly get a sudden overflow of dysphoria. I can do things for an hour at most until I feel completely shattered. I struggle to combat internalised transphobia too.

Idk, I just feel so stuck and alone in this battle to liberate myself sometimes. I know I have so much potential but my dysphoria shuts me down completely.

There’s also some dysmorphia that may be at play. Not being able to really know what I look like fucks with me to an immense level.

    Because I found what me feels like.

    Because, yeah, we’ve been inundated with so much bullshit that there are near-instinctual misconceptions, ideas and feelings that we direct inwards and emotionally flay ourselves with.

    And most of it isn’t even real! It’s just ideology. Btw, you might be interested in this

    Because you’ll start to uncouple these snap judgements and ingrained associations. You’ll find your own biases laid bare and confront them, and grow to be a better person. Not just for others, but for yourself.
