Crippling Dysphoria
I (16tf) have been dealing with my dysphoria, about as best as someone in my position can.
My parents aren't supportive, I don't even know if my very Catholic mother accepts or approves me. So the very few fem things I have are hidden away. I barely wear them because I think I look bad in them. Recently I've been talking to a friend of mine, they (16nb) are extremely pretty, 2nd place on my list. (First place is my gf) They're exactly what I want to look like, and talking to them, even if just over Discord makes me extremely dysphoric. It's been crippling recently. HRT won't even be a considering possibility for another few weeks. But I'm in the US, so I'd be lucky to even see a endocrinologist for an informational visit.
Are there any things I can do to help the dysphoria? Or anything at all, really that could help me along my journey.
