The aim of this paper is to present how those individuals whose body has been changed due to disease process (anorexia or oncological pathologies) experience their bodyliness. Authors’ own qualitative research among 10 women with anorexia and 10 who undergone mastectomy is going to be shown. Also potential mechanisms which can cause disordered body image and the phenomenon of self-stigma and self-exclusion in these groups will be consider. In the lights of obtained results, sample women feel embarrassed because of the “imperfect” body they have. The aspect of stigma which women after mastectomy internalized the most is the esthetic value, whereas those with anorexia have much difficulties in interpersonal relationships which leads to self-isolation.
