So today I'm getting chest dysphoia really bad, and I feel sad and upset. I'm hoping I can get on HRT soon but I know it'll be a long time, especially since I just came out. So I wanted to ask, how does everyone here who hasn't started HRT yet cope with chest dysphoria? Is there something I can do to maybe feel better, even just temporarily?

TBH as I haven't used them myself, so I don't know which ones can be recommended. The only other advise to give you in regards to breast forms: Once you start HRT, be careful to make sure that your own growing breasts have enough space to grow. Putting too much pressure on them and/or restricting them can be uncomfortable and may inhibit their growth.

That's good to know, I'll make sure to keep that in mind when I start HRT
