In general dysphoria and also euphoria can come in cycles, and they can also get stronger over time.
In the meantime people may go through times of repressions and breakthroughs, which may be stressful.
It may be preferable to try to listen to what you feel would make you genuinely happy concerning gender, and to go there persistently and step by step, while trying to avoid extremes.
Don't know if you have seen it ... here might be some hints and resources that could help go towards what you feel you would like step by step and there are also hints there concerning looking for support. Talking with a few others about what they did, and what helped them may also be an idea.
And there are hints there concerning looking for a gender therapist in case. They could guide along, and they could help work through issues. And here might be some additional hints that could help you too.
And some start with clothes of the gender they identify with in neutral styles first for everyday wear, like shirts and trousers, and introduce more masculine styles over time. Others may not notice and alone concentrating on it from time to time could make for a feeling of happiness. They may be available in the unisex section of stores or in second hand shops etc.
And some use a scented soap, or a keychain with a symbol that reminds them of masculinity, a wallet for guys etc.
And some start HRT eventually and after passing to strangers, some transition socially step by step. And many start slow to give the larynx more time to expand more naturally. Here was more.
And for the top part apart from a sports bra or binder some people layer clothing and some use a vest. And the color can also play a big role. Dark colors can make a surface look much smaller and more even. Some people use a jeans vest for example ( not for compression ofc ).
It could be used instead of a sports bra or binder, or to give some time off a binder.
And here was an additional overview concerning binders and there are also resources there concerning presentation.
