I'm always negative. I can not accept myself the way I am. I'm a 116-117lb girl who thinks they're fat. I think I'm ugly. No matter how many compliments I get, I always disagree. I worry about everything. I always think my boyfriend/mother is going to die in a car accident. I seriously can not control these thoughts. I REALLY want to not think this anymore. Is this a mental problem? I don't know what I should do; I can't really see a counsler, because I'd have a hard time explaining to my mother.
the best thing to do is to talk to your school counselor, or someone who knows how to get you help without your mother finding out, unless you want her to.
i know how you feel though, because i too, am very doubtful & can never think of anything positive, it is a terrible feeling, and yet sometimes you just have to try & accept the fact that the things you are worried about, may or may not happen, but no matter what, you can't stop fate.

good luck<3 [ missxdeax3's advice column | Ask missxdeax3 A Question ]

I explained it to an adult who is like a couselor for me. She prayed for me, and about a month later I began excepting myself as a pretty girl.
You could seriously just see a school counselor without them calling your parents. It looks like the best thing right now in this situation.
Another road is GOD! He can help you through all of this if you just ask him too. You don't have to be embarrassed, or scared. Just do it and start walking in the way he'd want you too.
