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
โi 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.โ
โIf 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.โ
โTo 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.โ
