How do you folks handle it all on a day to day basis?

I noticed very early in my transition that I needed to stay motivated and I seriously had to reprioritise my life. Settings thing ls going in the right direction is the most important thing. Just drifting isn't going to be useful.

You really have to be pro active. Change your diet, hit them gym. Start doing the little things like shaving, buy your self some girly socks or cheap jewellery perhaps get some make up.

Keep pushing for a therapist, set your self milestones and priorities.

Avoid anyone who doesn't support and accept me, focus on the people that do, and maintain a positive outlook on life and move forward with my transition has been the best recipe for my success. I have no more dysphoria, anxiety, or depression. Wake up with a big smile and go to bed with a big smile:)

Alrighty, here's how i handle it: Firstly, transition will very likely make you lose friends. If friends are unsupportive of you being trans, drop them. They're just toxic at this point. I'm not saying be rude, but I just stopped talking to/hanging out with friends I didn't deem as healthy for me anymore.

I primarily deal with dysphoria through escapism. Video games, projects involving lots of thinking, lots of things to just take my mind off of things as I actively try to move forward with transition where I can.

As for looking for support: Find trans supportive chatrooms/forums/friends/etc. Understand that your family is going to have to go through a transition too in how they see you and there is going to be things they too will need to deal with. They are finding out you arn't who they thought you were and they essentially will need time to grieve for the person they knew you as before they can work towards accepting you as who you truly are. Unless you get really lucky, don't expect any support from your family or their ability to understand you in any way. Look for it elsewhere. Many come around eventually, but it's often way past the point in which you need support. In my life, my family feed me and keep a roof over my head, but they basically don't understand and have no capacity to emotionally support me in any of this regarding trans stuff.

Things that help: Keep moving forward. I don't care if you're just taking tiny baby steps towards transition, as long as you're making progress, I find dysphoria is a lot less severe. The "THIS IS SO WRONG" gets muted a bit with "I'm working on it!". If you can, try to make a schedule. Make a list of things you need to do, figure out what you need to do them, how long it takes to get them, and set deadlines. It helps you feel like you're on a path. Even silly stuff like "Next Friday, get your ears pierced" or "This Wednesday, go to tanning bed" or "Get eyebrows done" will just let you do small stuff in way of transition. Reminder: Cis people are clueless as hell. Positives of being mtf, especially if people already thing you're gay is that there's a LOT you can get away with and people will have no remote idea you're trans. This allows you to transition in the dark without too much backlash. Homophobia's gone down a lot lately, even in the Bible belt where I live, if people just think I'm gay, no one will raise an eyebrow about me having done eyebrows and earrings or feminine/andro complexion/voice (while voice training, many often sound like gay guys, but if they think you're gay, who cares? Just keep trucking!)

I had very dark days (unemployment then detransiton)

I took time out to be by myself to do deep breathing daily,just fifteen minutes each time. I listened to soothing piano music (even Muzak) and totally inflated my lungs over one bar and deflated them over the next. I didn't think of anything other than the next breath and counting the beats.

Everyone should try it

When it comes to games, try setting goals. Go for that hard to get achievement or try to improve your K/D ratio (if you play shooters). If it's a game where you can make choices, choose something you'd never choose otherwise. Mix it up a little.

I try to keep myself distracted with writing, music, creativity, watch a lot of Netflix, and talk with the few people online that actually keep me smiling.
