• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

I look like some sort of freak and I hate the sound of my voice. I hate having a disability and my vision is poor without glasses.

I wished I looked more like Reese Witherspoon. She's a beautiful actress.

I hate my parents too. I have 2 siblings but we're not very close since we're completely different and I don't say much.

I feel like people are out to get me and the ones that do like me are just doing it so they don't hurt my feelings.

I have little trust in people, especially in men.

Hug, Im sorry you feel like this and it can go away.
I spent about 20 years in this state and not a trace of it now. Why are you comparing yourself to an actress? or anyone? There is no prototype for beauty and I know you don't feel this but you know it. God didn't come down and set up Reese or anyone else as the ideal beauty or even what beauty is..shes way too skinny in many cultures. Its so relative and can only be based on comparing to others and judging 'faults' in yourself.
Its all perception and there is no way I am going to find you less attractive than her or anyone in anyway. People who do have a problem in the senses and mind so who cares.
You arent perfect compared to what you know?
as for trusting men, well much of that is legit imo with the masses
people love you, u just need to try to see that through the pain and love yourself
its that easy and that hard, i know
why judge yourself at all?
We are all relative to who we know, whos around us and form our opinion of ourselves based on this but it holds no truth.
I don't think its at all about accepting yourself 'as is' but just accepting yourself for real, perfect...only you can subtract from that
Its very hard to communciate to another how to do this but you can get past it all. You will. Hugz
love
Jah

I am so sorry you feel so badly about yourself. This is not what God wants for you, so this mindset is not coming form God, but from Satan--and the pits of hell. Choose to believe God--that you are beautiful and not mankind that has set the standards of what is beautiful to be so unattainable that people spend $$$$$$'s to get just right, and still find flaws in themselves. If we strive to be beautiful for the world, the world will always find something wrong, if we strive to be beautiful to God, you will be.:hug:
