First of all, can I just say thanks for doing this? I know, that might sound a little stupid, but... well, sometimes it's hard to get straight answers, and find the right information, so having someone who is educated on the topic going "come and ask me things" is actually really helpful.

My question is ... I was going to say kind of simple, but then I thought abou... Doesn't matter. Here's the thing. I have ... severe anxiety problems. I also have a lot of body image problems.

So why is it when I cosplay I feel a little more ... secure? (well, in those rare moments I'm not sitting going 'Oh gods, I'm not the right shape, I'm ruining everything, I should never even try')

[Fun fact: I've re-wrote this way too many times, and I still don't think I'm asking the question I want to ask. Sorry to be a bother, dear. Thank you for reading the comments and answering what you can]
