View Full Version : Finally Discovered Root of Body Issues

I've realized that most of my body issues have to do with striving to look like an entirely different person. Instead of attempting to alter my appearance to match that of a female version of myself (which is what I aimed to do initially), I'm attempting to look like an entirely different person; a person that I might find to be the standard of beauty. If I'm going to enjoy myself while I'm dressing, I should be happy with merely being MYSELF as a female, rather than thinking I should be an entirely different person.

Just thought I'd share, especially when I considered that many other CD's on this board may also have issues with body dysmorphic disorder.

My Pretty! I feel that, that is good news! I strongly believe the only way to be happy is to be yourself! Hoping the best for you! HUGS!

Heh...I know in my pics is only a female version of myself. I do not try to entirely change my appearance nor my behavior. I am just me. The closest thing I have to any shaping things are my bra, and corset, and when going all the way, tucking. The rest is my build.

Working with one has is I think the most true route.

Going to try this again. SarahMarie those are the exact goals i have set for my self. To look like of woman of my age. Doesn't mean i can't get dressed and look a few years younger. That's dthe part i am working on now. Finding a wig "s" and hair styles that fit me. Clothes and shoes that say it's today the way i want to look. Keep the good attitude and you will get to were you want to go. I know it takes a lot of patience.

The only bad part is...I dislike myself as a male too -.- This is a good first step in recovering from BDD, but I'm definitely going to seek therapeutic assistance.
