Struggling with Body Image

*VENT* I feel so out of myself. I disassociate from myself a lot when going about my day and I haven't been eating much lately. I look in the mirror and I feel ugly and fat and just bleh. lots of people I know and talk to say I'm fine and I should get over it. I can't. I'm just not happy with my looks and how i feel at the moment. I feel alone and tired a lot.

Yeah anyone who tells you to just get over it is unhelpful at best. I had to just stop talking about my mental health symptoms with most people, especially family. It's so frustrating when people try to reason with mental health feelings. They aren't logical, that's why it's an illness. I know it doesn't make sense that I feel so hideous. If anything, that just makes it more frustrating.

  @Spinnerette oh yeah I feel the same way. I just need someone to hear me out and understand where I'm coming from and help. 100% agree on mental health feelings being illogical. Thanks for commenting 😅
