    dysphoria

    I have to grow my facial hair out for electrolysis and my dysphoria is going hard. Its tough to feel cute when 5 days a week I have to have this disgusting wretched stuff on my face.

      re:

      It’s the worsttt. I hope you can find ways to feel cute during the process meow-hug

      Avoiding my face for a while helped me refocus some of my attention (positively) on other parts of my appearance. Easier said than done sometimes, but it was nice to work on things like style and feel like I’m not just stuck

        Yeah… My face is one of the more dysphoric parts of my body, specifically because of the hair… It… It sucks. Kinda crushing. I’m just trying to ignore it for now but it heavily translates into me not taking care of myself. Like, my facial hair levels are directly correlated with how put together my life is. Not shaving makes everything harder doggirl-cry
