let's talk about body dysmorphia

depressed girl's guide to life

we talk a lot about our minds here on this show. what we haven’t talked about yet is our brain’s connection to our body. we haven't talked about bodies. and its a weird one. why’s it weird? because realistically maybe situations and our feelings and shit in our mind can be like subjective right? the weird thing about bodies and feeling that dysphoric and confused connection to your body is that for the most part bodies are just bodies. your body just is. and sure maybe you feel bloated one day or maybe whatever - but like, there is a concreteness to your body. there is a number on that scale, your hair is a certain amount of inches long, your lips are a certain width and whatever. your body, like, does look how it is - there should be very little subjectiveness in that. and there’s our problem. when our brains make our bodies subjective we fucking go through it.
