suicide over stretch marks

I've tries commiting suicide before because of my body.I'm thin and have a pretty face(so they say). People say I'm pretty but its only because they cant see how disgusting I am.I've had anorexia over my body issues and I self harm to cope wuth the hate I feel for myself.Nobody knows about this issue I have cause they wouldnt understand and they would judge me but I am the only one who knows how much this affects me..I feel worthleand ashamed of myself.I feel inferior and not worthy of love.I have them on my arms,hips,breasts,thighs,butt,kness and calves.I feel less than a woman and not feminine since I cant wear dresses and bikinis..what man would ever want me?I feel so lost and I put my life on pause cause these scars are stopping me from doing things like work or even go out.I have literally no friends and I feel like drinking and smoking pot all the time to help me forget how much I hate myself..I dont have plans or dreams..I quit living and its all because of my stretch marks..What can I do if i hate nyself likr this?Everything revolves around the fact that I have stretch marks..my sadnesa..my depression..anorexia..self harm..drinking..drugs..its all my body's fault..

i feel like suicide again..i dont wanna cause so much pain to my family but they dont understand..no one does

Aside from calves and knees, I've stretch marks in all those same places. I've scars on my kneecaps from a fall off a seawall, when i was a tween. Just know, you aren't alone. There's styles of clothing, that mask these marks. And men, don't really give a damn, so long as there's a naked woman in front of him.
Body distortion, is had by many. You aren't alone.

If you are feeling suicidal please reach out to someone like a friend, family member, or suicide hotline. PsychCentral is a good place for support, but you need to tell someone if you are in danger or having a crisis.

Everyone is their own worst critic. You might see very visible stretch marks, but to others they are likely not that noticeable. If you ask people what their biggest physical flaw is, they will often point out something not that obvious to others. The truth about stretch marks is that most women have them. Same with cellulite. It's funny, cellulite is SO COMMON that scientists are considering adding it to the list of female secondary sex characteristics (along with breasts, hips, armpit hair, etc.) But yeah, even I have stretch marks, and they used to bother me a lot, but now I know they're not that bad. When you go through puberty, you grow a lot and your body changes shape, so it's natural for stretch marks to occur. It's nothing to be ashamed of.

There are some treatments for stretch marks like creams and lazer treatments, but those work best if the marks are fresh and may be expensive and time consuming. In fact, stretch marks become less noticeable after time on their own.

What you can do is try to focus less on your appearance and focus more on things that make you who you are, like skills, knowledge, personality, and morality. You can make yourself a better person, and not only will that last much longer than looks (everyone ends up ugly in the end), but it can make even an "unattractive" person (which I don't believe you are for a second) beautiful. You are worth more than your body and your looks. Anyone who says otherwise isn't worth your time. And at the same time, you are more than a "sick" person. Everyone has problems, but that doesn't define us.

Please stay safe and stay strong xx

There was a girl in my school who had scars all over her legs from self harm. But she still wears shorts (not in the winter of course). It shows that even though she's been through a lot she's not going to hide it.

No people might not understand but do you give them a chance too ? And if they understand or not it still will never make a difference I can see you don't want to be this girl and its up to you to change it there is tons of concealer to cover up any marks even tattoos and I find tattoos a way of expressing myself maybe that's somethin you would like when you need something get a tattoo they are beautiful and puts focus on the tattoos not scars but you need to tell yourself I'm better then this I don't want this life I want to be happy and then you neeed to build confidence because trust me you might think so but people aren't looking at your scars they are lookin at you but you need that I don't care attitude stop worrying what people think of you once they see how confident you are people love that they give you respect for that I mean what your going thro is hard and easy said then done but its possible I know you love yourself so so so much that you want to end what you think is pain and suffering life can be tough ofcourse but nothing is impossible you need to think positive if you try you will eventually think that way its like training your mind , the mind is a powerful thing you have to train it but you don't think so because your mind is in a negative state I was cuttin myself for along time then eventually tried killing myself and I tried stabbing myself the tip of the knife got in and I swear my whole life flashed before my eyes all the pain everything and that second I accepted it all and I knew I didn't want to be this girl I changed mylife completely after that day and that doesn't happen a lot trying to kill yourself isn't gonna solve anything it makes everything worse and not just for you but for everyone else you need to talk and there are people that want to hear you so let them even if its me people care they want to hear your story and what you have to say you owe yourself a second chance

I am sorry you are in so much pain. It may be time to get professional help. If you cannot talk to your family try bringing this up with your doctor or a counselor if you are still in school.

For what it is worth... I have self harm scars. I am now approaching 30 and they have slowly faded over time. I also wear short sleaves and shorts and if people ask I either tell them the truth or tell a standard crazy line so they know to mind their own buisness.

I also have strech marks and I still have a hard time with those. I am trying to get to a place where I accept that this is what my body looks like. My scars and strech marks are markers of where I have been, not who I am and not what I am worth. It is not something you can just decide to do. Self love is something you have to practice second by second and breath by breath.

Hope this helps, please hang in there. The people here are great. They are wonderful listeners and give great advice.

There are oils that minimise stretchmarks. I am sorry you feel so bad. Hugs all the way to you.

Speaking from experience I can say that if you are struggling with anorexia the lack of nutrients does affect your ability to think clearly. Please seek out someone and tell them what you said here. You are not the sum of your body, you are a worth while person.

We are so much more than our outer shells...

Do you know of Padma Lakshmi? She a model/tv personality. She has a seven inch scar on her arm that she refuses to cover. It's her favorite part of her body....She says:

"I love it because it makes me a person who has an interesting past, and it reminds me that I can survive any pain,"

You are worth so much more than what is on the outside. It's what is on the inside that counts. I struggle with issues with myself too, you're not alone.
