The dysphoria - it comes in waves

[meegosh]

So after a rather chipper start to yesterday, my mental health rather went downhill to the point where I wasn't fully functioning. I knew it was the dysphoria in particular when I *really* started to wibble at the thought of getting naked to shower

For me, my dysphoria has changed a lot. Day to day, it's a thousand times better. I'd almost be willing to say it's gone in a large number of ways that I interact with my body and the world around me. But I'm having to cope a lot more now with specific areas that cause acute dyshporia, and that dysphoria feels almost more difficult because I don't have that emotional refuge of "maybe transition will just fix it". Specifically, I'm coming to the conclusion that I'm going to have to choose between having a body that looks/feels right and does what I need it to do, or one that functions sexually. I've been meaning to do a post of my own on this for a while, but it's hard when it's something I really don't want to think about.

Good luck today - I hope everything goes well at your meeting.
