What’s going on?
Body image
You deserve care even on days when you do not like what you see.
Why it can feel this way
Comparison, comments and changing bodies can make appearance feel tied to belonging.
Try this now
Step away from the mirror or feed. Put on something comfortable and do one activity that is not about appearance.
How to say it
“Comments about my body are affecting me. Please don’t make them, even as a joke.”
When to get more help
Tell a trusted adult or qualified professional when this keeps coming back, changes sleep or school, or feels too heavy to manage alone.
