Does anyone else here have scoliosis?
Hey, my biggest issue is due to mild scoliosis I have. When I look down I can see that my sternum is about 2cm off center to the left. My nipples are both about 2cm to the left of where they "should" be.
To me this is the biggest issue because there is nothing I can do about it as far as I know. I looked into surgeries and even spoke to a doctor about it. Basically its not bad enough for it to be worth it/they cant guarantee overall improvement.
My body hair, I can get lasered off, my skin, I can moisturise, and now starting on estrogen I will have a lot of changes to my body, mostly good. But I will grow boobs and its going to make the scoliosis even more obvious. I've started wearing bras and different clothing that does not hide it like I could do when I was living as a boy.
I know its irrational but I still feel like it makes me unlovable and ugly. Most people don't notice until I tell them. An ex of mine didn't notice for about a year. It puts me in a bad mood every time i shower or look down, even with clothes on!
I'd really like to hear from people with scoliosis and body dysmorphia. What has your journey been like, what advice do you have?
thank you ❤️
