My tip is to stop using the word dysphoria as an umbrella term for all of your discomfort and instead break down all of your symptoms and work on each of those separately. Ex: "the idea of people seeing me as a woman makes me dysphoric -> feel anxious" (then look up ways to handle anxiety), "seeing my breasts makes me dysphoric -> want to rip them off (or something similar)" (look into ways to combat thoughts of self harm, for example I started drawing on myself with markers to give me something else to look at), "I associate women with feminity, so identifying as a woman makes me dysphoric -> feel like I don't belong" (work on changing your mental definition of a woman, I did this both by unfollowing almost all of the feminine women on my social media and replacing them with other gnc women (this doesn't have to be a permanent change if you don't want it to, do what works best for you) and by writing my own stories where women were represented the way I wanted to be seen (I did this because I found it really difficult to find media like that already made))

Dysphoric radfems sound off with tips on how you deal with it

It’s been hard for me to be in my body lately. It keeps feeling like I don’t know what I’m capable of, which makes me feel strange and alien and displaced.

Today my love told me to do some flexing, and she took these photos. She told me that she wanted me to see myself the way she sees me. I’ve never felt so loved and cared for and understood in my whole life.
