For context, I'm an AMAB enby and neurodivergent. After 4 years of growth I finally had hair that gave me such gender euphoria and joy. This last fall however, I fell into a depression, my hair got badly matted, and I had to cut it all off. Now every time I look in the mirror, I just see the masculine version of me that I hate. Self care has gotten hard because of it, and I've let myself regress into not shaving my face, which has only made it worse. I need some advice and support from the LGBTQ community, but unfortunately I live in a red state. Anyone have tips/tricks for even little hits of gender euphoria, or at least lightening the blow of gender dysphoria? Honestly, I don't know how to feel like myself without my hair.
