#BodyDysmorphia I was wondering if anyone else suffered from this? I have been a BodyDysmorphia sufferer since I had anorexia at the age of 14.. I am proud to be an Anorexia survivor but it’s left me with this horrible thing.. I don’t think there is much out there regarding this and I just want to say, if you are and ever need someone to chat to.. I am here 😊 some days are better than others.. and having good friends around you helps a lot ! Also happy to answer any questions about it also.

Just purchased HER first bathing suit… goddess, what have I done? 😔 #bodydysmorphia

Ever had one of those moments where your own body kind of freaks you out a bit? Like because it doesn't feel real/yours? I got creeped out by my own nails 😂 they're mine and completely real but they're very strong and thick and as a result sometimes feel fake? Weird, I know, but there it is. #BodyDysmorphia

Can anyone recommend any good resources on #BodyDysmorphia? You can PM me if you’d rather. I’m really struggling to accept what I really look like at the moment. I’ve lost 47 kilos and I had to ask my partner if a photo of me was what I really look like - I was worried the mirror was bent - I look so tall and thin I like look like I have been stretched on a wrack to my eyes. I tend to see myself as much fatter than I am.

One of the most underrated aspects of Frank Miller's 1986 "Batman: The Dark Knight Returns" is how the first issue is one of the best depictions of #dysphoria and #dysmorphia I've ever seen in popular culture. I know exactly how Two-Face feels in this story. 1/21

#throwbackthursday

2016: I was in a frenzy of becoming a big guy and remained fat for a couple of years. Eventually I decided to lose weight, because of the usual symptoms you get when you weigh 126kg: sweaty, slow, out of breath, unhealthy, unhappy.
It was an experience, but I feel better in my body now. Though due to body acceptance issues, I have to understand, that I’ll never be 100% happy with it. #bodydysmorphia #gainer

Having one of those days where every piece of clothing I’ve put on is triggering #Dysphoria, #BodyDysmorphia, and/or #SensoryIssues. Always a fun time /s

I don't know much about #Marvel or The Avengers, but I was just reading a little #CaptainAmerica book with my son and I get to a page which says:

"Steve drank the secret formula and was bombarded with vita rays, turning him from a 98lb weakling into a Super Soldier"

Err... yeah. Not sure how I feel about stuff like that.

Video idea I had while driving home that's interesting to me AND will bring in views--"5 (or 10) reasons why having big boobs sucks."

-look up bra prices and inconsistent sizing
-how a busty woman wearing the exact same shirt will be considered "slutty" while a smaller breasted person wont
-added gender dysphoria for those who don't identify as women. Binding can be very dangerous and uncomfortable. Breast removal can be very expensive and painful. Also not generally allowed fo rminors, so that's added years of dysphoria to deal with.
-higher rates of breast cancer? Not sure if true, will have to research
-more and faster sag, which shouldn't matter in our society, yet are yet another grounds on which women's bodies are judged.
-really uncomfortable during exercise, requires thicker and more uncomfortable (and more expensive) bras
-maybe racial expectations? Will have to ask for feedback from marginalized people if this is true.
-biggest reason--unwanted attention. The misogynist perspective of our society dictates that the biggest compliment a man can give a woman is to let her know she's "fuckable, " and that's especially true for someone who's busty. You can't help being born busty--yes you could starve yourself to make your breasts smaller, but why would you destroy your body like that? And again, breasts reduction is expensive and painful, and doesn't help minors who develop faster. Many women will intentionally wear baggy clothes just to try to minimize their breast size, and will avoid many other clothing types just to avoid increasing sexual harassment. The onus as always should be on other people--mostly men--to keep their comments to themselves, but we're a long way from every achieving that (of its even possible) and in the meantime, getting sexually harassed just for having a body attribute you can't even help having really sucks.

I would love to get the perspective of other people with large breasts (or maybe not large, but just what they have to deal with overall), maybe submitted video clips, or text comments for me to read aloud. Would especially love the perspective of busty people who don't identify as women, or maybe who do, who got breast implants and now regret it? Idk will think on it.

Maybe I'll do a future video on why small boobs suck, though Tbh that would get a lot fewer views (not that views are the only or even the most important metric on which I decide to base what subjects I cover).

Anything else about being busty I should include? I just had this idea a few minutes ago and already my brain is exploding with inspiration, lol.

Ps thanks again to @eldritch.cafe for having a 5000 character count, so I can get all these thoughts out in one message instead of a whole thread. I really, really appreciate it ❤️

Been feeling nauseous all day. Finally managed to eat something small and all the blood going to my digestive system had me shivering with cold so hard I got a heart rate alarm from my watch!
I think it’s the physical blowback from the effort of compartmentalizing surging #BodyDysmorphia brought on by a careless healthcare provider revealing my weight to me shortly after telling her I struggle with #ED. I used a new visualization tool my therapist taught me, but it takes a lot of energy to keep shoving disruptive parts away.

Guess who’s really freaking glad she’s got therapy scheduled on Monday!
Still feeling sideswiped by finding out my weight because the clinic my hand surgeon is at automatically prints it on referrals for OT. Two seconds and a Sharpie could have prevented this, feedback I’ll share.
Of course this happens during a month where extra treats are part of the celebrating.
Bless my wife who’s already reminded me, “It’s just a number!”, several times already this morning.
Leaning on an #IFS (#InternalFamilySystems) tool hard. I’m focusing on sending my “Body Cop” part to what I call The Asshole Clubhouse. It’s the part of me that screams at me about what I shouldn’t eat, what I must eat, and how my body is hideously misshapen. This part “rewards” good behavior with icy calm that’s really a kind of #Disassociation, a state I’m trying to avoid these days.
I’m grateful my new therapist named the miserable cycle this part throws me in to. She has been helping me understand how #cPTSD, #BodyDysmorphia, and #ED get tangled up with the need to make myself small, to not take up space, to become invisible. My past therapist downplayed it as “poor body image” to be addressed in group therapy after I finished reprocessing with her. This would cause me to get angrier with myself for “making such a big deal” about my body. Turns out that my “drama” is a disorder!

Ok, 3rd time’s the charm. Progress pic to help smack the crap out of the negative inner voices. #lgbtq #ProgressPics #bodydysmorphia

I’ve apparently “completed” the Chloe Ting abs challenge but given my lack of Pilates attendance I’ma gonna keep going.

Funny thing is I actually felt more bloated today than I did on day 1 but the photo doesn’t seem to show it. The body dysmorphia is strong with this one. #chloetingabschallenge #absworkout #bodydysmorphia #ocd
