Dysphoria is super bad today..

[AlexisH590]

I'm struggling really badly today... Everything is bothering me.. My face, hair, facial hair, body hair, genitals, sex roles, EVERYTHING!!! I wish I could just crawl out of my skin!! I hate this feeling so much.. I'm calm on the surface, but I'm screaming on the inside...

We all have those days, girlfriend.  And there are really only three things you can do—1) do something girly.  Go shopping, experiment with hair (wigs if need be) and makeup, do your nails, get some new earrings.  2) Do what you can now to further your transition.  Usually this means exercise and lose weight.  But instead of running or whatever, do something girly.  I like ballet for that.  Even back in the day when I wore sweats and a T shirt, ballet postures made me feel girly.  3) oh sheez I forgot number three.  I never knew when I grew out my hair that it was going to go blonde.  Definitely having a blonde moment here.  Or maybe the hormones made me a ditz.

Oh, well if I remember #3 I'll make another post.  But cheer up, you are on the right path.  You get over a mountain one step at a time, and you will get there.

Hi Alexis 🙋‍♀️ I employ number 1 on Carly's list.  Getting a pedicure soothes not only your soles, but your soul!

I think I'll put my face on and go shopping, or something.. Hopefully that helps.. Thank you, both of you!

I know those feels. My facial hair is definitely my kryptonite. I'll be having a really positive day and catch myself in the mirror- BOOM, day ruined.

I have to keep reminding myself that I'm a work in progress. Literally living out a life lesson in patience. I usually bury myself in music that makes my heart happy until I feel happy on the outside again. If that doesn't work; yoga! Forces me to put my focus elsewhere instead of on picking myself apart.
