doctor ordered binder break…

i’ve been told by my doctor i have to take 2-3 month break from my binders, and if the pain in my ribs doesn’t start to ease up in 2 weeks i have to get x-rays for my ribs. i feel genuinely so ready to give up because that seems impossible. dysphoria is awful and im not even on T or anything yet so binding is honestly the next best thing i can do to feel less dysphoric. i don’t pass at all yet tbh lol, and without a binder i feel like i don’t even look androgynous

how do you guys survive binding breaks?? substitutes for binding or just ways to cope with dysphoria over my chest?

also if anyone has any tips for how to manage rib pain please feel free to share :3, thank you guys sm in advance !
