Symptoms

The mirror shows a body. Your mind tells a story about it.

Sophia Body Image Distress Protocol

Body image distress is the gap between how you look and how you believe you should look — a gap widened by filtered images and comparison culture. Writing about the actual feelings — not the appearance, but the feelings — starts to separate the two. Completely private and offline.
