Hi brokenentity it's not your fault
If people were tearing apart your self esteem, your self respect, your motivation, your self worth and add to that depression...........it's not your fault, and it's completely understandable how you might have "let things go". But none of that makes you matter any the less.
So now I want you to be looking in the mirror and seeing that "same person at heart", because that's the person who matters, you!!!
Doesn't matter at all what you look like, there's been reasons for that anyway. Now that person deserves support, deserves acceptance, deserves to be valued, right??!!
So hurtful words........negative comments..........you don't deserve them, don't accept them, they're based on ignorance right? They're not based on who you are.
So if they want to come up with **** well that's their problem, why should it be yours just because they have no idea about your true worth.
So remember that's them........there are going to be people who aren't going to make you feel bad, who aren't going to make you feel even worse about yourself, who are going to be there for you.
And I don't know what you look like, I don't care what you look like but I can tell you that you are still "remarkable, unique and special".
So that person in the mirror, well maybe what they really need is to feel better about themselves, some support, some help with the depression, hey??
Maybe/probably they'll/you'll look better afterwards.......but that's the least of it, hey??
What matters is the way you're feeling, and you do deserve better.
And if you want to start with us in the support............here for you
