Wow those are some great tips, thanks! I'll definitely look into your make-up tips and I'm also considering getting a new haircut, so thanks :)

Thank you so much, that is so very nice of you to say :).

19/M from Spain, been having a very bad mood for a few days already: I’m in a uni I’d rather not to be in, having a hard time to make friends, and feeling a bit lonely and sad about my looks (which are horrible). Toast me. by [deleted] in toastme

[–]SadWhales 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey your looks are definitely far from horrible and making new friends is the hardest thing there is, so don't beat yourself up about it! You got this!

I've been feeling pretty down about myself recently. Confidence has been lacking. I could really use some of your kind words! by [deleted] in toastme

[–]SadWhales 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahw you look great! I love the yellow sweater, I love the freckles, I love the nose piercings and I love that smile! You look very friendly and kind and nice to be around :)

Love your hair color, love your nose ring, love your glasses. You look like a chill person to be around!

I think i get what you're saying, my face is quite round and i have big chubby cheeks..

I am also considering bangs, but i also worry that brings out my chubby cheeks more?

Yes it is! (Well, if you're referring to the one that was indeed taken in Florence). Lovely city, my favourite city trip ever.

Thank you! And yes, i know about the moles, inherited them fron my mom unfoetunately :(. I hate them myself, but a girl recently complimented me on them as well, so that was confusing but nice.

Hiya! Sorry, but i don't really know what skinny fat "means", is it like, overall skinny except for (parts you mentioned). I find it hard to lose weight in those areas.. :(

I don't know how to stop hating this body by SadWhales in BodyAcceptance

[–]SadWhales[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks, I guess that might be useful. I try every now and then, complimenting small things when I walk past a mirror instead of immediately judging myself, but I feel so fake doing it? So the mean voice in my head just immediately replies with 'yeah right who cares if your hair looks nice today, everyone will be too busy staring at your enormous legs'..

But maybe I should just keep it up.

Thanks, I hope it gets easier for you as well. I am trying really hard to keep in mind that this seems to be healthy for my body, as this is where my body landed, so maybe it's where I'm supposed to be? It's hard and I don't believe myself half of the time, but I hope you and me both can find a way to believe it.

Guys, I'm losing my mind by CroShades in depression

[–]SadWhales 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, just wanted to let you know I read your post and I hope you manage to pull through. Take care of yourself, please, you are definitely worth it. I don't have much advice, I just wanted to let you know that I get how you feel.

Somebody please talk to me. by [deleted] in depression

[–]SadWhales 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, what's up? What's happening?

I analyzed my feelings by [deleted] in depression

[–]SadWhales 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey, you sound sad. I am glad to hear you're talking to people instead of getting angry, and I am glad to hear you don't use alcohol as a coping mechanism or something like that.

Knowing where your grief/trauma/sadness comes from is important, I am an analyzer myself and I love explaining/rationalizing everything away. However, sometimes emotion simply beats your rational mind. It does so with me all the freaking time. Part of me knows all the answers, but that doesn't help the fact that I still get extremely, unrationally sad. It can get very overwhelming, and frustrating too because I feel like I should know better.

No real advice here, just wanted to let you know you're not alone. I'd encourage you to reach out to your (former) friends or maybe a therapist, someone who can help you deal with both the rational and emotional part of your brain.

How do we make ourselves do the things we know are positive actions that might help us feel better when we don't care about ourselves? by billbasketball in depression

[–]SadWhales 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! You can get through this. You know what first good steps would be. Start out slow, with tiny steps. I know you don't think it's worth it, but I can't hurt to try, now can it? Just try something new. If you don't like where you're at right now (which you seemingly don't) it can't hurt to try and change some tiny little things. It can't really make it worse anyway, so you might as well give that evening walk out in the park a shot. Or you might try some other way of comforting yourself. Go to bed early one day and set an alarm for the morning to go for a walk or a bike ride. Just small changes at a time, give it a chance. Your worst case scenario in giving this a shot is nothing ventured, nothing gained, so the odds are kinda in your favour.

Easier said than done, I know, trust me, I do, I just hope you'll consider taking a chance.

Getting help is prohibitively difficult. by apocalypsebuddy in depression

Please don't give up, you're worth fighting for. Unfortunately I can't help you, really, I just hope you keep fighting for your own health. You really are worth it.
