I’m guessing this sounds really weird lol
But I really cannot get used to how I look. It’s a really strange feeling but I’ll try my best to somehow put it into words; every time I look into the mirror I don’t feel like I’m looking at myself. Rather I feel like I’m staring at another person, in a way. It’s like I’m looking at someone but not me.
I can’t recall for how long this has been going on but for way too long, that’s for sure. I wanted to talk to my therapist about it in the past but I just couldn’t get the words out.

I am not one to diagnose people but I feel you may have some body dysmorphia. I highly recommend you talk to a therapist about this. But what I suggest is to pluck out details you physically like about yourself, and whenever you feel that way remember that physical part you like and grow from there!

It makes some sense, that’s really all I can say about it. I don’t know how to help you.

I can relate a little bit. I like @Sky-Trev’s suggestions. One step at a time. One day at a time.

Does it Sort of like it feel like you’re depersonalising? Not a diagnosis or intending to suggest that it is because there is a lot to unpack with it and only a professional can give diagnosis; but in the sense that you feel alienated or disconnected to your body?
I think it’s a great idea to talk to a professional about it. Let us know how you go!

I wouldn’t say you are diagnosing, depersonalization is more of a symptom than anything. So I wouldn’t worry about diagnosing, its just pointing out a symptom really. :] @e.thehuman

@Sky-Trev I understand, it’s important to preface those kinds of things I believe. Some people may go down a Rabbit hole or feel like they’ve found something that defines them, but it’s always important to know that people can display characteristics of various things. unless there’s a professional diagnosis it’s important not to get too stuck on the idea.
