God and dysphoria

Im catholic. Is anyone else dealing with this right now? 

My body is wanting something I will never have. Its a struggle. I follow God but I need help with my selfishness. I have to be grateful with what I have, but it feels like I cant.

I wish I felt comfortable in my own body. God doesnt make mistakes with his creations, why do I feel like one?

If you know more about Jesus than me, please enlighten me.

Its just something i needed to get out of my chest. God loves you, bye!

> "My body is wanting something I will never have."

this obviously isn't a 100% solution, but i would suggest practicing denying yourself on a regular basis! fasting, silence, even simply doing chores you rather not be doing is good. (of course, it's important to keep God and His will in mind all the while. beating a cross without Christ is just suffering, after all!)

this doesn't make our desires magically go away, of course. this is only good practice in saying to your flesh that you may not have what it wants exactly when it wants, because God is more important to you and that's okay.

Jeremiah 17:9 -- "The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately sick; who can understand it?"

remember that, no matter how your heart may make you feel about yourself, there is not a single moment God looked at you and wished you were someone else. God bless you!

I’m an atheist but I’d still like to express my opinion on this. You are not a mistake. Saying that god doesn’t make mistakes with his creations is only a way to push away what you’re really feeling inside. God will love who you choose to be, so be yourself! I know it’s not easy, but still try talking with someone you trust about how you feel. Think about yourself and trust your emotions! I hope you can figure out who you truly want to be.

Don't worry my friend, I am the same! I am a bit dysphoric too, and although I am not Christian, I very much think to myself "I should be grateful for what I have" and believe I am in some way 'in the wrong' for idolizing a version of me that isn't what I naturally am. I think its best to remind yourself that you are not bad for feeling comfortable w/ a different version of you, I think it best if you learn to except both versions of you, the one that you want to be, and the one that you already are. If you do that, you may find a middle ground that seems satisfactory to you, or you may learn of a way to be what you want to be (or vice-versa, love who you already are) w/ out feeling the guilt.
