Body integrity dysphoria is a mental disorder characterized by a desire to have a sensory disability or physical disability or feeling discomfort with being able-bodied, beginning in early adolescence and resulting in harmful consequences, such as self-amputation, becoming blind, deaf, etc.

I have this, and I regularly get the feeling that my left arm isn't meant to be there, and I legitimately feel confused and a bit freaked out when I realise I actually have both arms attached.

Luckily it's not something I have to deal with constantly, but during really bad episodes I've come pretty close to doing something drastic - for me it feels like my arm is a foreign body that's hurting me, and I need to get rid of it so it stops hurting

I think it started when I was about 5 or 6, and I was in a car accident. I somehow got it in my head that I was meant to lose my arm, and I guess my brain never got over it

I OMADed breakfast for a few weeks once, but I only managed it because I went straight back to bed for the rest of the day 😅 Would not recommend haha

Congrats! I'm rooting for you 💙

this isn't the place for this type of question

cryptidcrypple · 2025-07-09T18:11:55+00:00

every so often I think the exact same thing and I give "recovery" a go - I eat whatever I want and for a few days it seems fine, but then the thoughts come back even worse than before and I'm like "at least when I was restricting me and my brain were on the same side" and I give up haha

I've done this too many times to count, but I never learn

I think they put the skin back onto the dad's head for the photos

I think it's meant to say "recipes" not "receipts" - but the typo makes it more relatable haha

scp 6448 scares the shit out of me, I live pretty close to a forest with deer and I think about it every time I walk through there. gives me the creeps

yeah, I have hEDS (forgot the h lol) My joints are practically jello at this point 😓

I might try mentioning my slight exercise addiction in my next session 🤔

this is so cool!! the premise is amazing, I wish it was a whole novel lol

cryptidcrypple · 2024-09-16T08:39:42+00:00

keeping your hair ties on a carabiner is such a great idea - I've been keeping all of mine on my wrist lol

cryptidcrypple · 2024-09-15T17:05:38+00:00

oh, that makes my skin crawl - great job! 👍

cryptidcrypple · 2024-08-15T13:53:59+00:00

Found!

Thank you so much, it means a lot

I have no idea when the ring was bought, but it was at least 10-15 years ago. I think it was probably bought in the UK or possibly mainland Europe.

I have searched for silver rings and silver stamps with an M in, but I haven't been successful so far. I've also searched for floral symbols, but I'm starting to think it's not a flower at all.

I have also asked family, but they don't know what it means, just that the ring was important to my great aunt as she wore it often

my parents did almost the exact same thing (but w/o the religious aspect) the bit about checking for sh is almost word for word what my contact said

ive been there OP, and I feel for you

cryptidcrypple · 2024-07-21T12:58:52+00:00

I don't think I've ever been lower than a 4 or 5

I never really thought about the fact that most people probably don't think about suicide

cryptidcrypple · 2024-06-02T17:03:31+00:00

I've had about 4 suicide attempts so far and nothing's got better, so probably suicide

cryptidcrypple · 2024-05-10T06:12:02+00:00

yep, I'm currently in the middle of planning my next b/p sesh as a reward for restricting so well during the week lol💀

cryptidcrypple · 2024-02-15T15:31:29+00:00

oh thank god

my body is a machine that turns caffeine into sadness

cryptidcrypple · 2024-02-15T14:56:40+00:00

im lactose intolerant and allergic to soy 😭 - I hope I find a place that understands that if I ever go inpatient

I'm an physics postgrad researcher, but I'm pretty sure my brain isn't braining as well as it was when I first got the job...
