Chalmette, I know how you feel... I get the same way.. i even avoid mirrors because I think I am the uglist person on this earth.. i hate everything about myself, my hair, my face etc.. sometimes it lasts just for a day and other times it lasts for weeks...I have not been diagnoised as i have never gone to a doctor about it.. I am in an abusive marriage and have been for 46 years... put down after put down until it has me believing I am worth nothing and hate myself for just being alive...it passes and I have a few good days. But, what I am trying to say is I try to coast through those bad thoughts now and I look in the mirror and say ...."hey, you're not so bad looking" but it is a battle and we have to keep fighting back those depressive thoughts and like some on here say.. don't give in to them, don't let them win... someone loves you and thinks you are beautiful and worth having around....ME for one....smile even when you don't want it .. it helps sometimes... ((((((((((((( hugs )))))))))))
