  • Hey Guest,

    As you know, censorship around the world has been ramping up at an alarming pace. The UK and OFCOM has singled out this community and have been focusing its censorship efforts here. It takes a good amount of resources to maintain the infrastructure for our community and to resist this censorship. We would appreciate any and all donations.

I'm objectively deformed or whatever less mean sounding term people want to call it, so calling my reaction to it bdd has always seemed like toxic positivity bullshit. However I have recently realized that I have some very drastic fluctuations in how I feel about my deformed body and face, usually it looks repulsive and inhuman, but some days it just looks like a fairly common uglier than average woman (like the level of ugliness that doesn't always have to be a result of some medical problem and doesn't make you a total outcast, if that makes sense, huge improvement over my more usual perception of myself).
Does this mean I do have bdd or some other mental issue even though it's not a lie that my body and face are deformed to an extent? Like is my usual perception of it an exaggerated truth?
