How do you get past the dysphoria?!

Hi, this is my first post (MtF, age 25). It's been only 8 months since I realized I am trans. I have since started seeing a trans-friendly therapist and started HRT. How in the world do you get past the dysphoria? It got a little better when I started HRT, but it's back full force and is debilitating. I had to quit my job and barely leave the house. I feel like it's pointless because no matter what I do or how many surgeries I have, I'll never be fully female. I also have immense anger that I didn't realize this before hitting puberty. Can anyone give me some tips for how to handle the dysphoria spiraling?

How do you get past the dysphoria?!

Hi y'all. I'm newly trans (less than 8 months), age 25. I have a therapist and started HRT three months ago. I need advice on how to handle the debilitating dysphoria. It got a little better when I started HRT, but now it's back full force to the point where I had to quit my job and barely leave the house. I just feel like no matter how much HRT or surgeries I could get, I will never fully be female. I also struggle with immense anger at myself for not realizing I am trans sooner. Can anyone give me some advice for handling the dysphoria spiraling? My therapist so far has just told me to meditate and concentrate on neutral parts of my body that are not dysphoric. There's GOT to be something I can do to help alleviate it. Please help!
