"Your body loves you. Love it back."
To anyone and everyone struggling with BDD, self-image issues, hating your body, hating yourself... STOP.
You are beautifully, wonderfully and perfectly made the way you are. Every freckle, mole, stretch mark, wrinkles, belly rolls... EVERY INCH OF YOU IS BEAUTIFUL.
Please do not let a toxic brain, mind set, destroy the beauty that you are.
*Looks in mirror* Wow I look super handsome! I’m gonna take a picture!
*Gets Phone out* what the f… is that how I look? Why’s so much different?!? Why do I look so creepy? Where’s the handsome part!? Why did I get fat when I’m skinny! why does the camera hate me!!!
God, I'm so fat and disgusting.
Fucking body dysmorphia.
Dex (my imaginary friend) called an intervention just now on the body dysmorphia.
Why is every mirror a funhouse mirror?
My Body Dysmorphic Disorder: “You are so disgusting you need to workout. You look like an obese whale.”
My Social Anxiety: “Okay but no one can SEE you working out. They are going to judge you.”
Me: 🙃
To the people who love to workout, how do you do it? How do I become like you? How do you find the motivation to work out on your own?
I was with a workout group for four years. I still DESPISE working out. I just hate it. Still, I went because I had a “responsibility” essentially. I had to leave for a lot of complicated reasons, but in the month following that my mental health has been awful. I have body dysmorphia and I have essentially been attacking myself daily at this point. I want to workout on my own to allivate it but I can’t seem to find the motivation. (You would think my brain being rude as fuck would do it but NOPE.) What do you recommend?

Tried something new here. I wanted to do a piece on my body dysmorphia. I’ve always thought those little “ToonMe” style drawings that artists would do were super cool and I found it the perfect way to convey what I wanted.
I wanted to portray less how I see myself and more how I feel about myself. How does dysmorphia make me feel most days? Grotesque, deformed, ugly, monstrous, fat. All of those awful descriptors are how I feel about myself almost all day every day. My perception of myself and my body is warped.
It’s honestly a vile disorder. What it does to you and how you think about yourself. One day, with enough treatment and time, I want to know what I actually look like. To see myself as I am and not what my disorder tells me I am. I’ll get there. One day.
Me: *minding my own business.*
My body dysmorphia: “You look like this.”
