From people who came through it
“For whoever is where I was: I've been there. For me it was about three years ago. The worst part was deleted dating apps. Some weeks I don't think about it at all. Bit by bit it comes back. Keep going, even slowly.”
ember_blue8 · been through body image and self-worth“i was sure I'd never feel normal again. i was wrong. what helped me was writing everything down before appointments, otherwise i forget it all. keep going, even slowly.”
Care worker in Pietermaritzburg · 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.”
Amber from Miami · 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.”
