โHello 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.โ
โfor 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.โ
โDear stranger, i was in the same place in 2022. Back then it was the gym changing room. My kids say I'm back. The bad days get further apart.โ
โFor a long time my body image and self-worth were a mess. I avoided mirrors, picked at my skin until it was raw, and was sure my colleagues could see right through me at work. The changes were tiny at first. I told one friend what was actually going on. I found a therapist who let me talk without making me feel small. Learning that good days and bad days can sit next to each other was a big part of it. You don't have to sort everything out today. Keep putting one foot in front of the other, and ask for help before you feel like you're drowning. Bad days don't mean you're failing.โ
