Story Do you struggle from body dysmorphia?

[LifeIsASadist]

I believe I have body dysmorphia because I really fucking hate my skinny physique so badly I try to hide my entire body as much as possible and I hate my weight too, i am 164 at the moment and it feels almost impossible to bulk with bad genetics + ectomorph skeleton (at a small height) + ultra fast metabolism, my peers are 200 lbs in pure muscle and I am struggling to even gain weight to the point I am scared to step on the scale especially because I nearly had a mental breakdown when I lost weight uninvoluntarly. I have a hard time even show my legs as well because I have old self harm scars back from 2020 when I used to cut and I have a cut scar on my chest as well. I really hate my skinny physique so much.

Im the opposite of you. Im fat and cant lose weight unless i stop eating. No matter how much we weigh we will never be satisfied of ourselves.

I used to suffer greatly from gender dysphoria which can show has another form of body dysmorphia. I felt like I needed to be as skinny as possible to be seen as a girl so I became anorexic and underweight. However no matter how much weight I lost I still felt like I needed to become more skinny and haven't lost enough weight yet. I was able to recover from being body dysmorphic and anorexic and lessening my gender dysphoria thanks to hrt.

Sometimes I notice parts of my body too much and start to hate them, the shape of my fingers, the inconsistencies in my skin, how my nails look, the roughness of my knees and elbows, all my proportions. Its pretty bad when I look in the mirror but its even worse when taking a selfie and it flips the image, I really start to pick apart every detail on my phase. Like the bridge of my nose, position of my eyebrows, how my ears protrude and the shape of my jaw. It's been hard to ignore but I think I'm noticing all this less so that's good ig.
