    So today I woke up and was extremely uncomfortable in my own skin.
    I was saddened at the sight of my breasts and tried to bind them, but I don't have anything I can use as a binder.
    I really hate this feeling. This is the first time I've experienced it this intensely before.
    Is there any way at all someone can help me?

    You certainly have my sympathy. Dysphoria often hits me at inopportune times, when all I can do is sit there and ride it out. I can give you a hug, though. (*hug*)

    Do something to distract yourself, and don't allow the opportunity to think too much about your chest. Do you know of anything that helps you to deal with your dysphoria? If you do, just focus on doing those things. Sports and gaming helps me, they energise me and make me feel more at ease with myself.

    Hey, friend. Sorry to hear you're having trouble. (*hug*) What I do to get through the dysphoria is, like AnAtypicalGuy said, try to focus on other things. Exercising and dieting (SAFELY!) also help me feel like I'm proactively working toward a solution, even if results aren't immediate. Also, I highly recommend taking up a craft of some sort--sewing, crocheting, leather-working, carving--do something detailed, with your hands, that you can just get lost in for hours. At the end of a craft session, you may find your dysphoria has faded, AND you'll have a super cool handmade item to show for it!:icon_bigg
