okay this is urgent because i am getting more and
more depressed as time goes on.
heres my problem:
it started out as me becoming obsessed with the way i look and always wanting to look in mirrors.
then i thought i was so pretty and had a nice body.
i questioned myself "is this really me?" "do i look this good?"
now its at the point where i believe i am super obesse but when i look in the mirror i see a nice body.
i think that g-d gave me a gift of having the perspective of a nice bodied girl
like feeling / experiencing what she does.
i don't know what to do.
i feel like crap.
i am too embarassed to tell anyone.
please help.
i know this is really weird.
:(

Hi. In reply to what you had said in your comment, I think anti depressants may work to help you but the only way you would be prescribed those are through a professional who determines you will need them (such as your doctor). I know you find it very hard to talk but you will need to open up to them to tell them what's wrong if you want them to be able to help you. I suppose one way to put it would be that it's hard for the doctor to cure you when you can't tell the doctor where it hurts. What were these other problems you had that you had mentioned, in the past?
Please reply to my inbox as it will be easier for me to be able to reply to you that way. :]
Hello.
That is a little strange and I think I know what you mean from what you had said. At least I hope I do.
I'm not really sure what I should tell you though, I could tell you that no one is really ugly - it's all about each persons perspectives on each other and their own preferences (I mean I've been out with some very attractive girls and I've been wondering why are they with someone who looks like me all the time).
I think you just need reassurances that you look alright hence whenever you look in the mirror you seem okay but when you're not lookin in the mirror you seem to be not so good looking and such. Either way though it does seem you have a deep down issue that may need more thorough looking into than anyone on here can provide so maybe you might want to try talking to a councillor at your school (every school generally have one). If you're not sure who or where they are all you should need to do is ask a teacher you trust when you have them on their own and say you need to talk to the school councillor about a few things and if they can let you know how you go about doing that. You'll actually find they will be very helpful and you certainly wouldn't need to feel embaressed about it at all - they've heard it all before and more to the point they can help you to discover what really is the problem and to overcome it.
BEing obsessed about how you look all the time can be an unhealthy obsession too. I mean everyone wants to look good (me included) but if you let it consume you then you will forget how to enjoy life and how to have fun. That's certainly something you don't want to do - take it from someone who knows.
Seriously try arrange to see your school councillor though as they will be able to help you and just for the record I'll say I have no doubt that you probably look absolutely fine how you are. :] [ ammo's advice column | Ask ammo A Question ]
