As the title says, what are your usual ways to deal with acute phases of dysphoria. For me its currently either going to sleep, weed, or trying to do something different so I dont feel like a complete piece of shit and just feel shit a little bit instead.

Roleplaying games. Games that let me pick my body and my pronouns with all the sliders, with dialogue that doesn't try to tell me who and what I am. Even if it's a fantasy world, I can turn off the rest of the world for long enough to recuperate and feel like the human I am inside again. It gives me enough of a reprieve to tolerate the people who don't tolerate me.

Having friends who know me and see ME does wonders for my dysphoria too.
