I need to vent, yes. u have become my victim. No doubt, I am depressed.
I've been struggling with things this year, and im just sick and tired of it.
I cant cry and let it out, cause i see no point. But im sick and tireddd.
Besides the fact that my physical apperance is killing me....everyone tells me i look sick and ugly. my face is skinny and all you see is my nose. I hear it every day from my mom.
I have been struggling with acne for over 9 years. I have grey hair, and im losing so much hair. and im only in my early 20's.
This past year, i've developed some sort of stomach problem, like constipation. And I AM CONSTANTLY BLOATED and feel sick. I think i may have IBS, which makes me want to bawl.
On top of everyhting. My skin has been irritating me so much over the past few weeks, and i think i may have KP. its disgusting.
The idea of the hair on my body and face irritates me... i wanna cry, I feel like i can never feel beautiful.
Besides that, school wise i feel like a failure im almost done post secondary...and now what? i suck at job interviews, i dont want to work in my program and im not sure what the hell i want to do after, and where i wanna go....i have 0 ambition and desire to start anything.
i feel completely useless and ugly and lost, and dumb.
i can keep going.
but i'll stop
and please i dont want to hear, there are other ppl going thru worst stuff. i hear it all the time.
I want to vent, LET ME .
I know that stress can take a toll over physical appearance. TRUST ME, I've been through it. When you've been under stress for a long time, you can experience an upset stomach. But the anxiety also shows on your face and hair. You begin to look tired and haggard and sometimes even weak. You hair can start falling out and become gray. So, try to understand that this condition is not permanent. Once you make efforts to alleviate the stress in your life, you will feel more relaxed, and this will reflect in your face, body language, and confidence.
Acne can be depressing. But it can be cured. Talk to your dermatologist about skin and hair problems. The dermatologist can recommended treatments that eliminate your acne in a short amount of time such as a series a of chemical peels, or laser treatment. Laser treatment will not only fade your acne but it will also shrink your oil glands so that you will have less acne in the future.
Your skin and hair will appear more healthy if you are healthy on the inside. So try to eat healthy (protein, fruits, veggies), drink plenty of water, exercise, and get sufficient sleep. If you do this for just a couple of weeks, you will notice an improvement in how you look and FEEL. If you continue this, it will make an even bigger difference. When you have put your body through stress for a long time........it will take some time to bring it back to working order. But IT CAN BE DONE!
And confidence will make even an average looking person look more attractive. As far as job interviews are concerned, practice the interview with a sibling, friend, or career adviser at school. If you're not sure what you want to do, take a break and make a list of activities that appeal to you or skills that you have. And see if you can get a job that will make use of those skills.
Lack of vitamins can trigger depression. So make sure you take a multivitamin. An effective way to relieve depression is to involve yourself in activities where you are helping others. So, take the time out to volunteer and help others out. It will boost your confidence and self-esteem. Surround yourself with friends who can support and encourage you. You can also find relief in praying regularly and making dua. Another option is to read books on development of self-esteem.
Try these strategies for some time. Be patient, give it time. If you don't find relief, then you can consider consulting a doctor or therapist.
