Body dysmorphia isn’t always loud. Sometimes it’s just this persistent hum in the background—a cycle of self-criticism, shame, and comparison. A sick feeling when you look at yourself. A need to hide. A voice that takes every reflection and turns it into something cruel.

Body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) is a mental health condition characterized by an excessive and distressing preoccupation with perceived flaws in one's physical appearance.

Even when you have put in the work, even when you have learned the tools or the art of setting boundaries, there may still be circumstances and people that you struggle to create or establish healthy boundaries with. Keep putting in the work. Your mental health will thank you. You owe it to yourself to set healthy boundaries and protect your peace.

Boundaries are very good to have, but when it comes to people who have experienced trauma, that can be a challenge. I think it is important to reflect on where you are in your life no matter what age you are, and understand that things can always be better if you focus on what can make a difference for you.

There are so many different ways to approach this issue. Boundaries at home, at work, with friends, with strangers.

Family members are a hidden segment that do not receive a lot of attention or support, and they are in pain and suffering, too.

The truth is you have to allow people with mental health issues, all people, to decide what is best for them.
