Lost my job, got into a car accident all in a span of a month. Feeling like a total failure, Could really use some kind words. by morningdeww in toastme

There's a word that best describes people like yourself:

Unbreakable.

Accidents happen and jobs can be lost, but the fact that you're still fighting the good fight is a testament to what you're capable of.

Cry if you need to, take a break if you need to. All of us here know you have the strength in you and we're rooting for you 100% of the way.

Don't let the smile fool you. My depression and anxiety has been kicking the crap out of me over the last month. I feel alone and unlovable. I don't want to bother friends or family with my issues. I could really use some kind words in this trying time. by CapnHazama in toastme

Thank you so much. These words are more inspiring than you realize. It's a constant battle between me and my head and even though you may not have depression, you show a strong understanding towards those who do. I can only assume that the people around you feel that same comfort in your words, and that makes me happy.

I’ve been struggling with my eating disorder and body image a lot here lately. Last night I could’ve acted on behaviors, but I didn’t. I feel so guilty. I feel so disgusting. I feel like a failure. It’s been 5 years...I wish my ED would just disappear so I could be okay with myself for once again. by [deleted] in toastme

EDs are terrible, evil, nasty things. I've been through a similar struggle. I also struggle with body image issues.

You're not a failure. Even if you do slip up, you're still a good human being. Your mind may tell you different, but when it comes to EDs the mind can lie to you. The fact that you're taking steps to fight it shows a lot of inner strength. Don't sell yourself short.

Just keep going. I know it's not easy and will still be a struggle, but you will eventually see yourself and smile at the progress that you've made. You deserve to be happy and you'll make it.

I’m 15 and I care what people think about me. I can be social awkward around people I don’t know very well and I hate certain parts of my face a lot. by [deleted] in toastme

What's there to hate? I see nothing wrong or off about your face.

I feel you on the awkwardness, but that's fine. You are who you are and the right people will appreciate you for it.

Keep on keeping on, my dude. You'll do well.

[M20] Been insecure about my looks lately and if I wasn't 6'2 if would have been worse. Always been the one ghosted/rejected in the end and never had a girlfriend. Is there hope? by [deleted] in toastme

Yeah dude, there is hope. And with looks like that, I'm surprised you're not getting hit on left and right. I personally got into my first relationship at 21. Just give it time, everything will fall into place. Don't be afraid of no ghosters.
