When it comes to my relationship with my body, the Facebook status would be “it’s complicated.” Every day, I face an ongoing struggle to accept the body that has carried me through life and carried my babies into this world. Looking back at my teenage years, body image issues stand out clearly -- more clearly, in some ways, than social anxiety, shyness, or perfectionism. If I didn’t have the vocabulary and knowledge I have now, I’d probably describe my teenage self as self-conscious and shy.
It turns out, body image issues are actually quite common in people with social anxiety disorder. Let's talk about it.
