I feel ugly...

[Anonymous]

It seems no matter what I do I cannot feel pretty or beautiful. Doesn't matter how many people tell me I am or even who.
Not those few moments after a nice relaxing shower, or when I actually do put make up on. Idk what to do.. its affecting my marriage because I don't want him touching me ever. I never feel happy because of it..

I have these random moments where I do feel pretty. But they don't last very long.

I feel the same way! I recently got my hair done and bought new clothes and each day I try to do one thing that that makes me feel good about myself. Where it will be paintings nails to have a relaxing bath. It seems to help me.

 i would get some books abouty self-esteem and work on them to see if it would help. or you could see a counselor about it. i am sure you are a beautiful person. but for some reason or the other you dont feel that way. you need to feel better. hope you get it worked out.

Ughhh. Thank god i am not the only one. I just went from a 24 to a 18, i know I got more to loose, but I still feel like a sloppy fat ass My pretty titts shrunk a size, and are not what i used to love... I dont feel that pretty. I know I am, but I dont feel it.  Back in May, most of the right side of my hair fell out, and I had to wear a jessica simpson clip in. Its comin back grey and i cant do anything with it. Would love to go to the solon to get my hair done. I do talk to my fiance about it, and he is really sweet. I am realizing that communication with him about this is very important so he knows why I am in such a lul, and to be sensitive to it. I do recommend talking to hubs about it. Tell him how you feel, and that it has nothing to do with him. And, this is a personal issue, and you dont know what to do. I think even the most beautiful of women go through this. I really hope you find something that perks you up and makes you feel better.

I feel the same way. I used to get complimented all the time prior to having my son, but now my body is all disfigured, I can't even look at myself in the mirror. Although I'm happily married, I miss getting hit on.

 I can understand how you feel. Dh tells me all the time I'm pretty. But I really don't believe him.

I feel the same way. I have a scar and some eczema on my face and since childhood I was teased.  the low self esteem remains.  Even though my DH says i'm pretty, i don't feel attractive. a big part is the med weight.

When I get those thoughts that Im ugly and fat I tell myself to stop and focus on something else.  Its the only thing I can think of to deal with it.

I don't get this way about ugly, but I do about being unloved or annoying o whatever. They do say depressed people CAN'T believe compliments, but I think it helps to occasionally get them anyway.

 I feel EXACTLY the same... ive tried everything i bought some clothes helped a lil but kinda made it worse.... i paint my nails, i do some makeup.... no matter what i do i cant seem to like myself anymore. and my poor Dh... it really messes up our sex life, i hope he sticks with me though this tough time i tried explaining it to him but i dont think he really understands how ugly i feel
