It's pretty annoying because I've put a lot of brainwork into not only hating, but actively loving my physical form. Dysphoria ain't shit, I love my flesh vehicle. I don't even wanna shed the flesh and become the machine, that much, having gooey flesh and blood is rad.

Except oh, I forgot, there's this weird bone deformity in my chest that seems to be draining all the stamina and energy from me at increasing speeds. Oh, my body no longer does what I tell it to because it reacts with pain at any upper body exertion at all. Oh, my body feels broken and dysfunctional and a barely working construction of frail bones with skin thrown over.

It's fucking tiring mentally, I made myself this wonderful body the way I like it, and now it's falling apart and wasting away because something that's been wrong with my chest cavity since puberty has finally gone the rest of the way wrong. I sure wish the doctors I'd seen repeatedly had done something about it instead of brushing me off! I didn't even get much time to be a healthy adult, pretty much as soon as I was 18 or 19 I started feeling the hurt.

How do you keep your self image from getting rekt by having chronic pain & physical disabilities? I feel malformed and broken which I really powerfully hate. Exhausting...
