low self esteem ruined my life

[leashyx]

psychologist told me i have the most severe case of body dysmorphia she's ever seen. sometimes looking in the mirror makes me cry so hard to the point of vomiting. i dont know whats going on with me. my insecurity has literally become debilitating. i quit my job and physically cannot leave my house without getting chest pains, chattering teeth and paranoia. 6 months ago, i was completely normal with no history of mental illness. my life took a complete 180. i feel trapped in my own skin

Life is difficult when you are your own worst enemy… It's like having an anti-life coach sabotaging everything

So Body dismorphia can just develop all of a sudden? Maybe there's treatments available. I don't think you should ctb yet and hope that you get better soon

That sounds really awful what you are going through, I can imagine that it must be unbearable. I'm sorry that you are suffering so much. I wish you the best in whatever happens.

Sorry, I have somewhat of a similar issue, mine was caused by an event. Try and focus on natural beauty in a way, like eating healthy, exercising, running, face yoga, mewing (correct tongue posture which can really enhance one's facial structure), yoga, skincare, anything that makes you feel better, healthier, and more attractive. Natural that is, no cosmetic procedures or surgeries, those will make things way worse. I would suggest accepting how you look, don't obsess or look in the mirror too much. Not everything in life is just about how you look.

The feeling of being trapped in one's own skin, I feel you. All my life, Ive been trying to maintain my condition but after a traumatizing ordeal, I gave up. Im tired.

dysmorphia

i feel trapped in my own skin

I also suffer from this since I was a child, feeling hatred for my body, all this precluded me from living a normal life and relationships with others ... it ruined my life, then with depression it got worse, I avoid looking in the mirror because if I do I would destroy myself for how much I hate myself, I'm sorry you are suffering from this problem ... not feeling good in your own skin is horrible, you can't live anymore...:(

When we live long enough, something will destroy our lives.
