Dismorphohobia

Mentalhealthfighter profile image

I'm tired. I can't accept and feel my own body. I always feel uncomfortable in my body and can't adequately evaluate it. It's as if I'm always looking at it through someone else's eyes. I've had depression for many years and a bunch of other mental problems and I just want to get better. I want to love myself, fully accept myself and feel like myself. I have constant muscle tension. On my face too, it's like a frozen mask of all unexpressed emotions. The problem is not that I feel unattractive, but that I don't like myself, I don't accept my appearance at all, it's as if it's someone else's, it doesn't belong to me, and I don't feel like my face is truly mine, all this greatly worsens my condition. I understand that dysmorphophobia is a symptom of much deeper traumas that have accumulated over many years. I would really like to get rid of it.
