  • things that help me with dysphoria

    This felts really corny when i first tired it but doing some positive afformations in the mirror really helped me with this, little notes that say something like ‘this is what a woman looks like’, ‘you are beautiful’ etc, I’ve got an old crimethink ‘beauty must be what we define it as, or else it is our enemy’ poster too

    i generally just avoid looking in the mirror tho tbh

    i dont know how long youve been out to yourself for, but with time things like ffs and srs have become a lot less important to me, but it was a lot of mental work

    once when i told my grandmother how depressed i was feeling she told me, whenever she’s feeling really down she hops in the shower, puts on some nice clothes and does her make up (oddly affirming because she doesnt really get im trans), but self care really helps

    also helpful to remember the way you see yourself is not how other people see you

    be kind to yourself



  • hot? yeah i guess it was a little toasty overnight now i’ve had to crack out my second blanket, its the middle of winter! This is southern hemisphere erasure!

    im doing okay, someone in the vague ‘activist scene’ in my city is kinda making my life hell atm, theyre not well, but neither am i. So i’m fading out of existence. For how much people all talk about ‘community’, i’m yet to have many people check in with me.

    Theyre going to be living in a worldwithoutlawyers.jpg now i’m gone. no one else is going to tell them to reexamine their preconceptions, theres going to be unexamined racist shit going down, i tell you what.

    i kept being told ‘well remember what you were like when you were young!’, and i kept thinking, yeah damn, they should all be doing drugs instead of crowing themselves godking of the ‘movement’.

    this has all really destroyed my confidence i’m actually too anxious to even check replies here atm, for a while i couldnt even comment because i felt like everyone was so mad at me lol.

    The ‘scene’ is good for them, but has been a disaster for my mental health. so i’m dropping everything so i can rekindle my energy and re engage myself with my union organising.

    i dunno this feels like too much, maybe im too much. I’m getting echoes of an ex telling me ‘i’m not availible to do emotional labour for you’. haha hehe hoho yes

    if people are treating you like shit, you should leave, its not easy, but its for the best
