You are not alone danistar. We all need to turn to someone for support, and are here for each other because we care. There are a lot of ways to pull one up by the bootstraps, meditation, new hobbies, practicing mindless ness (Living in the moment) For me It is when I reach out to a total stranger and offer a few suggestions and advice that was given to me. If you want you can friend me or send me a private message and I will try to get back with you within a reasonable time frame.

sometimes distraction will work for me.put on a movie or grab a book.also going for a walk,but might be too late to head out.not doing good myself tonight.Felt lower than i have in ages.Went outside for a walk and it kinda helped a little.Got the anger and tears to calm a bit.

It can be really easy as a woman to get down on yourself about how you look, especially because society holds us to such high standards of beauty. Don't buy into it. Focus on what you do like about yourself, and if you can't find anything, chances are you are not seeing yourself correctly. Absolutely do not harm yourself. Get some rest tonight and care for yourself as you would for a best friend. Tomorrow, pick up the phone and find a counselor you can work with. Until then, and during and after, we are here for you. Big hugs.

I'm very sorry to hear you're feeling like shit. I know those awful, confusing messages swirling all around you. The fact that you reached out is terrific. I'm so glad you walked and it settled your nerves. Tears can be healing.
Good people here are pulling for you, you know. I've got a set of ears that work, too. I hope you are doing better soon, but if not? Myself and others are right here for YOU. Take care.

When I feel that way I constantly tell myself that I won't always feel this way. I know how scary it feels, as if you have no control over your mind. You are not alone. This will pass even though it may not feel that way right now. I am so sorry you are suffering right now. I will be sending you great thoughts and hugs.

sounds like an anxiety episode and medication would help. think about it: it's not objectively realistic to want to cut yourself (disfiguring) when you wish you were prettier. Also: feeling ugly is not real. You can be hideous and not feel ugly. You can be a model and feel ugly. Feeling ugly has NOTHING to do with your looks. It's all about chemicals raging around in your body.

I've just had a giant 2 week anxiety attack, and if my fixation had been my looks I would have hated my looks. My fixation was something else, and I'm glad of that. But you've got to understand that your mind can play tricks on you and you don't have to believe those tricks.

I'm gonna give you a big hug! Feeling ugly is really downing for everyone, especially if we have someone or something smudging it at us every day. Don't believe the crap society tells us about beauty! Tell yourself that you were, are, and always will be a beautiful person from the outside AND inside! We are here for you; this is what the community is about! Reaching out to tell this issue is really a good and brave step! Take care danistar; we are glad you let it out instead of keeping it in.

your life is very important right now. Do something to express love and forgiveness for yourself no matter how small. Eat some ice cream or chocolate, go for a walk, play with a pet, watch a tv show just for YOU! you're in control and the urges will pass. Keep in touch. You can get through this!

I am new here, and finding it hard to navigate, and meet other people..But from what I have read here, I can relate a lot.I feel the same way about myself..so much negative crap going on in my life, will it ever end? hang in there..

Welcome Echoman! There are wonderful people here who are very supportive and loving. I'm glad that you are hear. Sending you big hugs
