So today I’m getting chest dysphoia really bad, and I feel sad and upset. I’m hoping I can get on HRT soon but I know it’ll be a long time, especially since I just came out. So I wanted to ask, how does everyone here who hasn’t started HRT yet cope with chest dysphoria? Is there something I can do to maybe feel better, even just temporarily?

    if youre on a budget, cant go wrong with getting some bras with slots for pads and putting socks in them. been refining that for about a year now to reasonable success till i start hrt

    • Good suggestion, I’ll probably get proper breast pads or inserts though. I’ve got the money for it.

      What? You’ve been waiting more than a year for HRT 😔😭?!? I don’t want to wait a whole year to do it, especially since it might get harder to do it in the future.

        the year long wait is mostly on me, i pass well enough to go without and i struggle with big things like that. you shouldn’t have to wait that long depending on your area
