ED??

most of the time I feel like I could be skinnier than I am now.

I think about all of the food that I ate in one day and i always feel like I have to restrain myself from eating. When I eat I feel a little guilty, and then I usually don’t eat the next meal I was supposed to have

i feel like I’m always hungry, but then I look at myself in the mirror and I wanna be skinnier, I wanna look good. I wanna feel good about my body.

my friends tell me I’m not fat, but I always feel like I am

i don’t wanna leave my house, I don’t want to wear a bikini, I don’t want to hang out with my friends, I don’t want people to see my body like this.

Today I just sat naked in front of my mirror and cried, looking at old photos of me and how I looked skinnier than I look now, I just wanna feel skinny again

@affectionatePomegranate6347 Hello. It sounds like your mind wants you to be skinnier, causing you to feel guilt when you eat, while your body wants to maintain its current weight, causing you to often feel hungry. Being caught between these opposite desires seems to be causing you sadness and disappointment.

Beauty lies in the eye of the beholder. Whether you see yourself as beautiful or ugly depends much more on the lens through which you view yourself than on your actual physical traits. It seems that you are much more critical of yourself than your friends are. Feel free to message me anytime if you want to talk more about this. I hope you find peace and joy in life.
