dysmorphia (but also gratitude)
I had a dysmorphic episode today because sometimes I can feel in my nerves the shape that I know is right for me – a werewolf – but I have to keep typing with my pale little hands and thinking with my plaintively human brain. Those tools are both contributors to my dysmorphia and two of the only methods I have to communicate the experience at all. No claws, no elongated jaws, no fur. Just me at my keyboard and phantom sensations.
dysmorphia (but also gratitude)
But I’ve built a community of friends and family around me who understand, or who at least accept what I tell them about the experience. I’m so grateful that I can express the pain, the longing, the self-awareness of the apparent impossibility of what I know is true. I’m so grateful for everyone. #werewolf #dysmorphia
