I’ve had a life of hell with this disorder. I long to experience freedom

[rosie]

I was told what I’m going through is insignificant compared to others. I know it’s true but I am still suffering everyday with this. I am so tired… I hope I can be free

[manon]

[artsyfartsyme]

I’m dealing with this. I hate it. It’s hell on earth. I need help so badly but haven’t been able to find help. 😭

Mine version of BDD is more related to feeling that I don’t belong in this body. I see myself in the mirror and look perfectly fine. But when I see myself in videos and photos. I am a completely different human. That's not ME! I'm like who the hell is that? I felt a lot better when exercising, but that did not help to give me the feeling of being one with my body. I still think and feel that my "soul"or whatever is within this body just is a completely different human.

I have destroyed my whole life because of this disorder

[Juanah]

I’m dealing with this at the moment. Something that was propelling for me to break free from some of the shame was Ecstatic Dance. They are facilitated by conscious people who veer away from judgement and offer a judgement free space for the whole of me to be expressed, both through dance and singing. It is a safe space where I’ve learned that I can look ridiculous, goofy, sexy, excited, childish, or whatever I want, because ain’t nobody there pointing the finger at me or obsessively observing me. Everyone is using the space for the same exploration. I feel more comfortable with how I use and move my body in my everyday life now

[SanctifiedLady]

Her upper body reminds so much of mine. My shoulders are broad, very long muscular arms small bust. Very athletically built. The gym help til the near death car accident… the gym got hard to do with including work…too much pressure on my spine. The body changed from fat and perimenopause. Just one thing after another…

Learning to accept things will always change and never be the same then get old worn out, farting and peeing and pooping with out control then death 💀

[daphneceleste]

i dont understand why body dysmorphia is treated psychologically, accepting who you are and building up confidence to be who you are but gender dysmorphia is treated with hormone blockers and chopping off anatomy, shouldnt we be providing the same kind of acceptance of themselves and building confidence? someone please explain

[EdinXY]
