Mặc cảm ngoại hình là một rối loạn tâm lý thường gặp ở nhiều người, trong đó phụ nữ được cho là dễ mắc phải hơn. Vậy đây là chứng rối loạn gì và vượt qua nó như thế nào?
I was debating with myself whether I should post this. Finally, I thought “F*** it, this might encourage or motivate someone”. I’m all about spreading truth and positivity, so here goes.
Whether you believe it or not, I grew up with body dysmorphia. I don’t think anybody ever knew this about me, not even my closest friends or family. I’ve had various skin problems throughout my childhood and even into adulthood, most of which, I’m fairly certain, could be attributed to a bad diet and stress. At times, the psychological impact of not only the skin issues but also other physical features was severe enough that I would shy away from certain social activities or even avoid them completely. Some of these issues left physical and emotional scars.
Over the years, I have worked very hard on fixing myself, without letting anybody know what I was going through. Some people who don’t know my struggle might think of me as arrogant, narcissistic or simply a show-off. But this couldn’t be further from the truth. I have always been extremely self-critical and have always yearned for being accepted by others. That said, weirdly yet fortunately, I have always had love for myself, which probably was what gave me the hope and the strength to fight through all my insecurities. I’m happy I can say I have overcome most of them.
Sometimes, people compliment me on the growth they’ve seen me go through as a person and on how I come across on TV, which I really appreciate, but the most important growth is only apparent to myself. I am proud of what I have accomplished internally. It feels very liberating to be able to do things I used to be scared of doing when I was younger.
Shame is one of the most toxic emotions a person can feel. We should not be ashamed of enjoying the freedom of being true to ourselves as long as we don’t harm others. Do not shame others for having the courage to do things you wish you could do. Love yourself and work hard to become the best person you can be. Trust me, I know the struggle. You may be waiting for help, but it starts with you.

Back then, i would hate how i look in the mirror. some people would call it body dysmorphia, i don’t want to self diagnosed myself haha. 😂But, there are always something that i’m never satisfied about myself. i thought i’m crazy or something 😂😂 And, People often don’t see me in social events because i’m always anxious about how i look. —
but one thing i learned in my wellness journey is that, when u treat your body good, by eating what’s good for your body, you tend to feel good about yourself. when people see i eat “healthy” they call it a diet, but for me it’s not a diet, it’s a lifestyle choice. 🌸💕 and today, I do still struggle, but i’m much more confident than i was back then, and i’m thankful i’m able to inspire some of you too. #gratitude
