I was always fat, still am but my brother took a pic of me randomly and showed it to me and I didn't recognise myself. K didn't realise that big fat ass was me. Like I genuinely believed in my mind I wasn't that fat. I don't know what it is i thought of myself as smaller than I actually am. I'm 5'9 and 100kgs like 40% body fat so pretty fat.

Also, I recently got this weird obsession with having big hands and I look at my hands and they feel small. I'm very insecure about them. But I saw a pic my brother randomly took where there was a big person with these giant hands and I asked my brother who that was and he says it's you. I was so shocked. My hands looked so much bigger in that pic than they look irl

What is it. Why does my brain do this. Is this body dysmorphia?

29f and the past month has been beyond horrible. My body is filled with anxiety and depression. I haven’t worked in almost 2 weeks it’s been so bad. I barely leave the house. I don’t feel like my therapist gets it at all. I’m just really tired and feel no hope.

I looked in my mirror earlier and thought my thighs actually looked good and then i looked again some minutes ago and its like its back to regular old criticizing myself but i know nothing changed. like idk if other people also feel like in their vision their body parts change throughout the day too even though theyre not like for example i thought my legs looked nice and toned earlier but now after looking in the mirror i thought that they looked bad

Is it also dysmorphia if it's also a functional problem that your body has ? I have retrognathia which means I have a recessed chin from lack of facial development and it's affected my face. I'm highly aware of it but also know it's not abnormal to feel ashamed by it.
