Body dysmorphia
I have struggled with a eating disorder on and off since I was 13 , I’ve never learned how to have a good relationship with food. I will binge eat for a couple of months, feeling completely disgusting afterwards, then I’ll go a couple of months barely eating anything. I just feel so disgusted with myself because I’ve been eating soo much and gained some weight lately and all I want to do is cover myself up and just starve myself until I’m thin. It sucks because I think social media has driven me to have this body dysmorphia. all we see nowadays is women/men who have unrealistic bodies and that is seen as the beauty standards that is impossible to reach. It puts a toll on me, and I don’t really have any clue on how not to compare myself to others when all I see is people who are prettier than me. I just feel like I’ll never be enough.
@amiableCurrent1062 It sounds like you're struggling with binge eating and comparing yourself to other people and to often unrealistic beauty standards, which is causing you to feel self-loathing and have low self-esteem.
