    Keep very busy. Puzzle or something that requires your brain to be involved. If you are referring to long waits in a waiting room rethink the doctor you are seeing. Bring a book, ipad or a puzzle activity with you. If you are waiting in terms of days or weeks for an actual appt. because you have no other option then keep very busy.

    Whenever my dysporia plays up, I listen to music or watch my favourite TV shows, play video games. That sort. I try to keep my mind distracted.

      By plays up I mean, when it gets to that unbearable point. I also keep reminding myself that one day I will get top surgery, start T, etc.
