Ah, those are good tips, thank you!
I've been learning the "not shaving causes dysphoria" lesson the hard way. Sometimes it feels like self-care to relax when I don't have to be in public and I can avoid looking in the mirror, etc. - but inevitably I do see a mirror and not shaving even the small amount of hair left makes me dysphoric in ways I don't even fully understand or immediately recognize.
In the past I have had a hard time motivating self-care, it's like I need to work on the meta-level issues to get to the point where I can more easily motivate taking the actions you list here.
Thank you again for the response! ❤️
