An Alien Has Taken Over My Reflection

I'm finding the physical changes a little more drastic that I at first imagined. I'm struggling with this dismorphic meltdown stuff. I feel tiny. I reach for clothes hopelessly too large and my reflection is of a droopy-skinned large person. Aaaaaaah! Anyone else?

I understand. I'm less than a month out. I had to go back to therapy. I cant put up with abusive behaviors that before didn't even ding on my radar. I can say honestly that the damage i sustained in my life always had me looking to hide. And when hiding from predators obesity was the best cloak. Suddenly I feel that I'm being exposed. And as crazy as it is to say I felt security in obesity. Most people would say I'm an extreme outgoing self confident person. Truth is that's a cloak too.

We share this in common.
