Hi kiddos! Many requested ways to not feel dysphoric and still being tiny so I'm gonna try my best to not use words that can trigger you and give you some tips! Hope they'll help you, remember that no matter what your brain says you're still valid and deserving of whatever you want okay?
- First if the word for that time of the month triggers you try to use something funny! I call mine the Shark Week! I pretend I survived a shark attack and I'm recovering from it!
- If The Shark week isn't for you try to imagine something like a battle or a fight where you won but got some injuries so that's why you feel sick and need to rest
- You can also play this scene during play time or in bed if you're feeling unwell, for example you're a brave knight that is fighting a dragon (a plushie or your cg) that can keep your mind busy and help you feel better!
- Another tip is to have a companion for that time of the month! For example you can pick a stuffie of your same gender and make them wear what you wear or you can make them "bleed" using crayons or something that is easily washable! So you'll feel less alone and your pain is now something you both share!
- For masculine/nonbinary kiddos you can also use boxers or double boxers to feel more cozy and less obligated to wear something else! Prioritize comfy clothes and things that make you feel gender euphoria! For example i wear my baggy pants and my mandalorian oversized t-shirt!
-Another tip is to redirect the pain to somewhere else in your body! If it's that time of the month I pretend I need to find the reason behind my pain, so I check different body parts like my legs or my forehead and cover them with kids bandaids! That helps me think that I'm feeling bad for something else
- Final tip rest! No matter what, you need to rest, in particular if you feel dysphoric too. Put some comfy clothes, drink something warm, watch your favorite shows or cartoons but try to prioritize your recovery! You fought well little knight now you need to recover okay?
I hope these tips helped you! They help me a lot during very bad dysphoric days, remember to stay safe and be gentle with yourself! I send you a big virtual hug!
