Another Size Dysphoria/Dysmorphia Day
Just another day where I’m taller in my head than I am in my body. And it’s really getting to me today. It’s one of those things that’s hard to explain. But imagine trying to reach for a glass. You know the glass is 2 feet away, so you reach allowing for that. You’re so used to how your body feels, you don’t even have to think about making that adjustment. You just reach for the glass....
And miss it. Because for some reason your arms are too short. You can’t reach it, even though you KNOW your arms are long enough to get it. So then you stretch further to try and reach it, far further than you should have to because of how close it is, and then you finally get it. But it just feels awkward.
That’s kind of what it’s like. Only it applies to every aspect of your body, and lasts all day. It’s far more extreme for me since my brain thinks in much larger scales. It makes walking difficult, and everything is just uncoordinated.
Plus, there’s the fact that I’m not towering over my city. So... yeah. Just one of those days... :\
