Body dysmorphia

Body dysmorphia is a mental health disorder where someone can’t stop thinking about perceived flaws in their appearance, often leading to severe distress and anxiety. It's more common than we might think, and it can be a tough journey. But I've found ways to cope and grow stronger each day.

1. Reminding myself my body is beautiful: Every time I look in the mirror, I take a moment to appreciate my body for all it does for me. I remind myself that beauty isn't just skin deep; it’s in the strength, resilience, and uniqueness of my body.

2. Eating healthy and mindfully: What I put into my body matters. By focusing on nutritious, balanced meals, I nourish myself from the inside out. Eating mindfully allows me to enjoy my food and respect my body’s needs, rather than punishing it or restricting it.

3. No drugs, alcohol, or vaping: Staying clear-headed and keeping my body free from harmful substances helps me stay connected to my true self. It’s a choice I make every day to honor my body and mind.

Everybody is beautiful, regardless of any disorder, number on the scale, or perceived imperfections. We’re all uniquely wonderful just as we are. Embrace your beauty—it’s yours to define.
