My body dysmorphia has gotten really bad recently, and it’s affecting a lot of my daily life.
I haven’t been feeling the best about myself, and it’s starting to show up more and more.
I’m tweeting this to show that confidence isn’t linear. People assume that I’m self-assured every moment of everyday, and that is no where near true.
There are major dips in your self-esteem, which are completely normal, and we need to publicly acknowledge these moments.

I don’t feel great about myself right now, & that’s okay. I don’t need to make myself feel bad for having these thoughts, and I shouldn’t try to repress them (because that’s how eating disorders form).
Putting the out in the open get it out of my head, and takes it’s power away.

The difference that being confident at my core makes is that, in times of self-doubt & feeling my body is inadequate, is that I don’t stay in this place.
I recognize that this mindset is lying to me & I need to do whatever self-care & introspection it takes to get back on track.

Body dysmorphia sucks.
No matter what I see in the mirror, in pictures, or what people about my appearance, I don’t believe what I see. My views & perspective of my body are so distorted that I don’t know the truth.
