Re: The Butterfly Room- ED support
Struggling myself @BlueBay it’s been a really bad body week for me. Still doing what my body needs but the thoughts are very loud and relentless

Re: The Butterfly Room- ED support
I don't think I'd say anything nice about my body either @BlueBay - don't even want to think about it!
I attended a MH Education group once on Compassion. They said, all the things you tell yourself about yourself, would you ever say it to someone else?
This question really struck me. I had very low self-esteem at that time, and I used to do a lot of negative self-talk. At this point, I realised I was being so harsh with myself.
Consider it 🙂

Re: The Butterfly Room- ED support
it’s only when I see my body @tyme
I would never say anything negative to anyone about their body. Never. But with me I feel flawed, damaged, ruined.

Re: The Butterfly Room- ED support
I know you wouldn't say anything about someone else's body, even if they were the most 'flawed' body shapes etc. Hence my point @BlueBay . COMPASSION. Have compassion on yourself. You deserve it.
Better still, take down the mirrors.

Re: The Butterfly Room- ED support
I do have compassion for others but not me.
not sure I deserve it - like you say @tyme
self love for me snd my body is zero. Wouldn’t even know where to start to change it. So negative towards myself
