I am more active than ever but feel worse

Advice Needed

I’m a fairly active person in general and have been struggling with body dysmorphia for as long as I can remember. I’ve been running 4 times and week and working out 3-4 times a week while also take breaks on the weekend. I feel like I’ve been doing everything right but I feel like my dysmorphia is getting worse and I feel really awful about myself. I don’t understand what’s going on and I’m wondering if I’m doing something wrong. I’m eating normally and I love sweets and everything and feel like I’ve been very healthy in my diet and exercise. I’m just so confused and frustrated because I thought being more active would make me feel better but it doesn’t. Is there anything I can do to feel better? I genuinely feel stronger than ever but at the same time I don’t.
