I mean it's like I become aware that I'm not physically the person that I think I am, I mean it's like I forget what this body looks like until an other reminds me or I look in the mirror. It's heartbreakingly depressing. How do you deal with such a thing? I just can't accept it, it makes me vex so hard, I just want to scream!
I feel so ripped off. I see everyone else my age just having fun being themselves...
I'm just griping a frustration most of us share. Thanks for letting me vent.

even normal people have problems with how they look, their self image, likes, dislikes, perceptions...
most people look at their positives rather than the negatives...example after having three children I am not as skinny as I used to be and I have stretch marks (marks on my skin where the skin had to stretch to accommodate growing babies) instead of seeing this skin blemish as a negative I change it to a positive, I gaze in wonder at the canvas of eternal artwork made by my three wonderful children.
my suggestion maybe you can turn the page of your wonderful canvas and see what positives that lay in waiting for you to notice.
