Lack of self confidence

Why do I hate myself so much!! I genuinely think when people look at me all they think is eww she is so ugly! And even if they do think that, Why would I care! Argh! Gets me down

From your profile picture you look pretty to me!
I'm sure people do not think that when they see you. Self image is a hard thing, I'm sorry you are struggling with this. Have you thought about taking to a doctor about this? A professional may be more helpful.

No not really I'm from the U.K and I'm pretty sure they'd just tell you, you're wasting Thier time. I am on tablets for general anxiety so hoping once they kick in I might start feeling more confident and comfortable in my own skin. It's like I have two minds, one is saying stop being stupid, you don't look out of the ordinary so why would people even look twice (and does anybody actually look at anyone and think eww cos I never do!) And the other side says but you are hideous! I just try to look at the brightside and think I have a amazing boyfriend so if anyone does think I am hideous, what does it matter lol. If that makes any sense!! Thanks for replying! Really grateful

There is a lot of mental health support in the UK, despite what you may read, I'd go back to your GP and get a therapy or CBT referral, medication works best when complemented with a talking therapy. You seem to be struggling with low self esteem and anxiety, which are very commonly linked. It is worth noting that some anxiety meds increase your appetite, but above all remember to be kind to yourself, weight loss and long term health are long journeys that we're all looking to make. You'll have good days and bad with life and with food!
