Hi cryingontheinside
And I was thinking precisely what Mickey was thinking when I read your post.......I mean
maybe, I don't know but
maybe, your appearance is different..........self care can become so hard to even think about..........depression can sometimes reflect itself in your eyes/on your face..........maybe there are other things depression has imprinted on you..........but that doesn't need to mean that prettiness can't still be there..........afterall you are looking at yourself through the eyes of depression, right?!!

And I'm sure you know anyway, that the world can look so different through the eyes of depression........lots of things that may have at one time looked beautiful/attractive lose that "glow" under the veil of depression, the colours fade...........
And, of course, it can have you seeing yourself so very, very negatively..........predominently what you see may be all your flaws (although sometimes they too can be beautiful

), and all your new flaws.........so what you're seeing does not have to be the truth.......or even all there is...........however you're thinking you look right now............prettiness can still be there..........despite
everything
