My UK lodgings wont have wifi

WTF?  That's practically a requirement these days...

I don't see how wi-fi is an essential requirement. Internet access, yes, but not wi-fi. Wi-fi just enables internet access without wires. Good for convenience but you could just as well live without it.

Ah, whoops.  Forgot about cable.
If there's no Internet at all though...  That's just wrong.

[Jopax]

I'm guessing he meant no internet whatsoever. In which case try and figure out an arrangement with the neighbours or if there are any coffee shops nearby whose passwords you could obtain by having a drink there. Even if the flat itself doesn't have wi-fi nothing says you can't find some there

Can I cease to exist for a couple of months or more, please?

...Ouch.  Hope whatever it is gets better soon.

Can I give you a hug over the internets? #notsarcasm

Aaaargh I'm failing at helping.

Dysmorphia over here :c

I wish I just look like this person so that nobody can see my awful face.

[Tawa]

Pfft, your face is freaking beautiful. I wish I had your face instead of my terrible bespectacled pimply one.

...Same, really.

Beat Dishonored. Low chaos.

This game moved me, honest.

I'm going to agree with the other two and say that compared to me and others, you actually look quite nice. Also, considering what Tomb Colonists tend to have under the bandages, you probably don't want to look like one.

I...really don't think that's dysmorphia. Knowing how you look, you're fabulous.
Unsure who's judging you there, or what standards you're judging yourself by, but you're pretty alright.

Dysphoriaaaaaaaa

I really feel like I have the option to try and force it back down and be miserable for a couple of years (or forever, depending on how unlucky I am), which is gonna be harder than last time because now I am much more conscious of the harm I will be causing to myself, or try to do something about it, fail, and end up worse than the alternative.

Any way you can contact relatives or save money to work on it in the future? Forcing it back down and ignoring it will not provide a healthy outcome in the long-run. It'll be difficult, likely, to face it head-on, but it's something you'll be doing for your own good. :O

I'm not a psychologist, but:

Body dysmorphic disorder (BDD), also termed body dysmorphia or dysmorphic syndrome, but originally termed dysmorphophobia, is a mental disorder characterized by an obsessive preoccupation that some aspect of one's own appearance is severely flawed and warrants exceptional measures to hide or fix it.

... that sounds about right.

[Rolan7]

Someone who looks fabulous can still feel out of place in their body, though.  Just because it's objectively attractive doesn't mean it's correct.

I'd say I know the feeling, but that'd probably come off pretty egotistical...  I think it's fair to say I experienced it about 8 years ago though.  Was confusing and frustrating as all hell.
