what is species dysphoria?

in context like these, dysphoria is distress from mismatch between inside/identity and outside/physical self.
for alterhumans, often means species dysphoria: distress with human, or human-like, body.
dysphoria especially can hit strong if new to this part in identity and community, with less experience in balance. if dysphoria kick you hard and not know what do about, if feel like hate this world and hate body... hope maybe can help find some comfort with this. daffodil divider

some ideas

for years, live in balance between faery and human worlds. learn many things in this time.
these not species-specific, sorry! still, hope may find ideas that inspire.

first: dreams wonderful. can do anything, and some even find ways control. but not everyone can.
if dreams your only dysphoria solution, that means so much more time that hurt and very little release.
so please, do enjoy dreams when get, but not push too hard - that can make dreams that hurt more than help. think feel much better if look for real things can do. but how, you ask?
of course this answer change so much depend on what miss, what need, and possible around you.

do these not work, or not include what look for?
sadly sometimes find self with need that just can not replace. this why always stress about find every little thing that could make happy, and take no shame in these. daffodil divider
