As the title says, what are your usual ways to deal with acute phases of dysphoria. For me its currently either going to sleep, weed, or trying to do something different so I dont feel like a complete piece of shit and just feel shit a little bit instead.

    I’m transfemme and for me i fight dysphoria with euphoria.

    • brush my hair
    • put on cute clothes that accentuate my feminine shape
    • fix my hair cuz getting changed messed it up
    • shave, wash my face and put face lotion on
    • eyeliner, little bit of eyeshadow, mascara
    • delicious perfume
    • brush hair, apply a puffy headband or barettes
    • gaze at this pretty girl in the mirror and wish i had met her 20 years ago

    i’m usually feeling better by then. ymmv but if you haven’t tried it, try it!
