Tallulah Willisis opening up about her struggles with body dysmorphia.
On Saturday, the 27-year-old daughter ofDemi MooreandBruce Willisshared areflective poston Instagram, where she spoke about physical insecurities she has dealt with over the years.
Sharing a photograph of herself alongside a series of shots of Moore, 58, from various decades, Willis began her message with a trigger warning around body dysmorphic disorder.
“Took me way too long to realize that: A. Aging happens without your control, time passes and your face can change 🤷🏻♂️,” she said. “B. I punished myself for not looking like my mom, after being told I was [Bruce Willis'] twin since birth - I resented the resemblance as I believed wholly my ‘masculine’ face was the sole reason for my unlovability - FALSE!I was/am inherently valuable and worthy, at any life stage, at any size, with anyhair do! (As are you).”
“C. You need to soothe the wound within your soul before trying to ‘fix’ the outsides,” Willis added.
Continuing her candid caption, Willis told her followers to “Be mindful of the special and impressionable minds around you and their access to social media and potential triggering imagery or the indicators that hyper-focusing on ones appearance goes deeper then just wanting to feel good in their own skin.”
Willis then shared a list of things she will do for herself when she’s in a “BDD spiral,” including going for a walk and listening to music, taking mirrors down, reading fantasy fiction books and taking a bath.
Similarly, Willis — who becameengaged to Dillon Bussearlier this month — added that allowing herself a break from social media is also important, as well as writing her thoughts down before tearing them up and burning them.
