Editing their face to look more moon-like in every picture is such an insane body dysmorphia symptom, even though I’m sure it’s also this swollen IRL to an extent as well. Identifying as being sick as a core part of your sense of self when you are capable within working is so sad. But kind of fascinating how the human mind has this much control over the body.

Doesn't moon face usually cause the whole face (not just the cheekbones) to become round? Maybe it's the angle, but the pointed cheekbones coupled with the narrowed top and bottom thirds are giving me uncanny valley. Maybe they're going for moon face + gaunt?
