You’re not alone. So many of us judge our self so harshly, to make it even worse having OCD can feel like the nail in the coffin. I want you to know that no one looks like you or me and that’s beautifully fucking awesome… but it doesn’t mean it’s easy. I don’t know what else to say b/c I don’t know what you need to feel or hear to not feel this way but know YOU ARE SOMEONE 🌸 ⚡️ and I hope GOD can comfort you right now like they do for me ❤️‍🩹 💐. You are beautiful , heaven sent. Not perfect b/c no one is… that’s what makes us special 🎁.

Hi, I have similar issues. I look at myself all the time to “check in” and make sure i look okay, when i feel ugly I am sad and feel worthless. My confidence is low but it doesn’t mean i feel ugly all the time, I am just so critical and when i imagine myself i imagine all the ugly sides that i know that I’ve seen in photos. Just know, you’re not alone. You’re not ugly. You’re worthy of feeling special and beautiful and the sooner you can accept the less it will weigh you down.

I have obsessions about my appearance that I am ugly. I check my face in the mirror and seek reassurance from others. I am constantly comparing myself to my friends and thinking they’re so beautiful and I am disgusting. It’s so hard to not hate myself when I feel like this :(

not THAT OCD related, but i’m so tired of looking in the mirror and picking apart the things that i feel are wrong with myself. after my first session with my therapist, she said i also have body dysmorphic disorder, which is commonly seen in people who have OCD. i’m not a person who cries easily, but this problem i have within myself almost brings me to tears often and eats at me every single day. i cant enjoy simple things without being fixated on how i look/my appearance while doing them. if i’m swimming in the pool, i’m thinking about how my face looks with my hair wet and get uncomfortable when i feel like someone is looking at me for too long. i feel uncomfortable in rooms with certain lighting. i adjust the angle or position my body is at while interacting with other people just because i’m concerned with how they’re seeing me. just a rant, feeling really defeated.
