I really enjoyed this! Thank you so much for sharing these experiences. There was much to think about and altho my experience is obviously different I connected with so much of this:

“The bathroom mirror was at such an angle that, again, I only really saw half my body and I had to consciously stand in front of it. There were no accidental encounters with my entire body or my reflection in full.

And so, for years, I have only caught myself in glimpses.

I’d see half my body in mirrors throughout the house.”

I’ve been there too: like, really terrified of seeing my body. For years I wouldn’t even go swimming! Thank you for sharing this to help others process their own experiences ❤️
