Help for body image and self-worth in China
From people who came through it
“Hello from the other side of it. I've been there. For me it was two years ago. The worst part was comparing myself on Instagram. Now I sleep most nights. It's slow, but it does come back. You've got this, even if it doesn't feel like it.”
Malathi R · been through body image and self-worth“If you're at the start of this, I won't pretend it's easy. The first few months were the worst of my life. But I'm writing this from the other side, and some days now I forget to be sad. Lean on whoever offers, even if it's awkward. People want to help. Go slowly.”
Shannon from Des Moines Y · been through body image and self-worth“for anyone starting with the mirror stuff: it starts with one comment and then it lives in your head rent free, which is rude. what helped me was noticing how much time I gave to strangers on Instagram and how little to Clive or Kemar or my own lunch. I am not fixed, not even close. But I stopped weighing myself before work. small. do one small thing that is yours and not about how you look, even if it is just eating the chicken with the skin on.”
keisha_wolf93 · been through body image and self-worth“To anyone starting out with body image and self-worth stuff: I know it feels impossible right now. I used to avoid mirrors and skip social events. What helped me was small things, like writing down one thing I liked about myself each day, and finding a therapist who got it. It's not linear progress. Some days I still feel like crap. But it does get easier. You don't have to believe it yet. Just keep going.”
