What thoughts help you when you feel extremely down due to BDD?
Currently crying because of how much I hate my apprearence. Just looking for quick advice tbh. Is there something that immediately helps you? I have away from the mirror as it fucks me up more, but I keep imagining my face and it's so detrimental. I am also caught in a spiral of negative self-hating thoughts. I started comparing myself to Gollum from Lord of the rings in my head and I don't even know why the f I thought about it, it was the most random shit ever. Writing is helping me rationalize a bit but I know once I send this and try to go to sleep I know I will fall into the spiral again.
update: what helped the most was thinking I would never describe other people with my flaw "monsters" like I do with myself.
