i feel a little better since i,ve studied them
by the way your appearance is not bad.i think i have a GF like u

Sounds to me like you have food issues that are replacing your self harming issues as a way to cope with the world. I had simmilar issues only I used alcohol where you use food and self harming.

there are groups you can go to like over eaters anonymous where you can get help and feel not so alone with this and I would encourage you to go.

In order to feel better a change should come from with in. The change needs to be in your mind about how you percieve yourself and the world around you. This is what helped me the most, only I did not have the life skills to do it on my own so going to AA meetings really helped. I recieved lots of ideas that I would not have thought about on my own

Mental illness is a tricky thing because unless I am able to say what is on my mind then it just goes round and round my mind gaining more power and eventualy becoming my reality or at least how I percieve my reality. Well done for speaking out and being vunerable… try the meetings :)

first of all, judging by your picture, you are absolutely beautiful! you can’t deny that because i wouldn’t bother to say it if i didn’t believe it!
i know it sucks when people put you down a lot… but you have to realize that in the end, what they say doesn’t matter. your aunt says your drawings are bad? doesn’t make it true. you have to realize that everyone has their opinions, and that’s ok. what’s NOT okay is putting you down.
just remember, you are beautiful and there is no “mold” you have to fit. you are who you are and that’s all that matters.

Well, seems like like your psyche was pumped fulla cr*p at an impressionable age and now that steaming pile is popping up some nasty ol’ mushrooms. Being in your teens, with all the attendant issues, isn’t helping you any either, with all the hunting for identity bit and raging hormones calling one to sate MONSTROUS lus.. wait, that was me. Okay, just leave it at the hormone bit, but really, kinda seems like you’ve internalized all that criticism and made it your own. You’ve heard the expression ‘Don’t feed the troll?’, well, you gotta starve the nasty bugger. Actually, I got more to say, but am getting zombified and will have to continue when more coherent. ZzZZzzzZZzZZzzzz.

i have zero self esteem.

It may seem that way to you sometimes, but I don’t believe it. You have some self-esteem, surely you know that. The question is, is your cup of self-esteem half full or half empty? It may be painful to only feel the emptiness, but some of the self-esteem you seem to me to have is strong, like you had to learn the hard way to stick up for yourself and treat yourself with respect. I admire it actually.
