Trigger warning: period mention

I only just started realizing that I am transmasc. It's like I always knew but just didn't have a safe space to accept it before. Obviously not having started any trajectory yet, I feel better with a binder on. I was on birth control and always kept taking it to avoid getting periods. I guess I forgot how bad they made me feel (mentally) so I recently stopped taking those pills because I didn't think they were necessary. But now I feel so dysphoric because I get periods again..

How do/did you guys deal with that? I'm planning on going to the doctor to discuss this but I have to gather courage first. How can I deal with this dysphoria?
