Body Dysmorphic Disorder: A mental illness involving obsessive focus on a perceived flaw in appearance. A relatively common issue,especially today. Something I’ve personally struggled with since high school,but took years to seek help for. Social media hasn’t always been a positive place for me mentally. Seeing bodies, that aren’t even genetically possible on an endless feed can at times revert me back to my restrictive dieting way. If you grasp anything from this episode I hope it’s that EVERYONE even someone who looks relatively confident struggles with their body image. Be kind to yourself. Work on you;for YOU. And keep in mind that what you see online isn’t always real.
