some sort of an illness about looks???
14/f
well i have this issue. i can't stand myself , and i think i'm rly ugly and everytime i look in the mirrow i start crying. i dunno why but i take pictures of myself and also film myself 2 see if what i see in the mirrow is true , and that mostly makes it even more bad cuz i look worse. i even think about suicide sometimes coz looks are like the most important thing 2 me and say whatever you want , you're not gonna change my mind. but here's the twist....guys always stare at me (like a: "you're hot" stare and not an "you're ugly" stare lool) and my friends tell me i'm sooo pretty and so does my mom. they say i'm like the prettiest girl eva. but the thing is that i always see an extremly ugly girl in the mirrow/camera ..and i mean EXTREMLY UGLY!!! i am soo unhappy most of the time so i just wanted 2 ask if there is something like an illness where you see yourself totally different in the mirrow/camera? i know there is this thingy where you see yourself totally fat but youre like reeeallyyy skinny...but thats not my problem...my problem is my face so is there something like and illness for that? coz if there is i would be soo reliefed coz that means what i see is not true.
and yeah if there is....what can i do 2 "cure" myself
thxx!!!!

As someone else said
Body Dysmorphic Disorder. I don't know much about it but I know it generally leads to eating problems or other forms of self mutiliation.
Any emotional trauma happened in your life recently or in the past? Think back and try to remember anything that may have scarred you. If there is, don't be surprised, that may be one of the roots of your problems.
See a therapist and see what they say, if they don't help, find another therapist. Either way, seek professional help of some kind until you get better.

sorry this is long but i write alot when it is a topic that i have dealed with, either myself or my friends.
----------------------------------------------
I have a best friend with the same problem. She is extreamly skinny and very beautiful! I tell her everyday i wish that i looked like her. But she results to cutting, she is suicidal,she is Starving herself, and if she does eat she throws up after. Thats no way to handle things, either way with those 4 choices you are going to regret it! You do need help if you feel this way, you can be a danger to yourself, Especcally if you feel suicidal. Killing your self over looks, sorry to be honest, But it is kind of stupid. But to you i know its not because you have something that is mentally not right. Just because society tells you you have to looks, dress, act a certian way doesn;t mean thats right. I know this sounds kind of dumb, But it worked for me.

Try making a list of things you like about yourself. First write down things you like about that you had no controll over, like that your an american, what neighbor hood you live in-if you like it, what school you go to- if you did not chose it and you like it, that you are a woman-- simple things like that. Next write down personality wise things you like- like if your a good friend, honest, trust worthy. Then, this is a Very important part for you, write down things you like about you apperence- maybe your eyes, or you hair, or that you a thin. -----------------------------
When you are feeling depressed or suicidal most of the time you feel unloved, or lonly. Last make a list of not who loves you-- because sometimes you can not think clearly of things like that-- But a list of who you would want attending your funeral if you were to die tomarrow. Such as family and friends who would be upset with you died, or if that does not work, of who you would miss if you were forsed to live on an island away from all people for the rest of your life. ------------------------------------
Remember death is not the only way out, you can find help. their are people that love and care about you on earth and would be depressed and maybe suicidal if you life their lives. Remember their is always hope. Pull the list out everytime you are upset and see why you are here, why you are living, there is always a reason.
- i really hope i helped. Tell me how you feel after.

You might have BDD. It's a mental disorder where you HATE your body image. BDD stands for Body Dysmorphic Disorder.

No , to be honest, I think its all about confidence and self esteem. You got to believe yourself.I think there is no such thing as ugly . People just have there opinions on whats pretty. You just need to struggle through and look in the mirror and tell yourself "Im Beautiful". Sounds cheessy? Probably. But really it will help. Okay bye
