Hello, first off this is my first post. My name is Courtney and I'm a 22 year old Business student who loves Japanese anime and video games, especially Japanese made video games.
A year ago I had a major breakdown after my ex fiance' almost literally kicked me to the curb, a few days later I attempted to, but I was caught by a family member, one of them being my cat who is like a daughter to me. I got some help after that, and even though I've been struggling with the heart break of my ex leaving me, its actually been a blessing in disguise. I completed my G.E.D., I'm in college now, and I work out three times a week to lose weight. I am about
230 pounds, and I'm aiming to lose 100 pounds.
However despite my efforts, I've been really down about
my looks lately. I broke down in the school cafeteria earlier which was incredibly embarrassing. Not only do I have my weight, but I still have a small acne problem, thankfully its no where near as bad as when I was a teenager. However I still have small scars left over from that time.
I just basically don't feel comfortable in my own skin, and I don't feel pretty, which every girl deserves to feel.
I also feel the fact that I don't have any friends or a girlfriend (I'm ***) due to my lack of looks. It's incredibly lonely.
As I said I'm doing all I can to lose weight, I work out, I even try to eat a lot healthier. As for my face, well in general I take good care of myself. I shower every day, wash and condition my hair, and I use lotion after every shower. I also scrub my face after every shower with the Loreal face wash that has the little scrubby with it.
I would post pictures to get some suggestions and feedback, but I am unaware if it's allowed or not.
Sorry sweetie for the edit, but we aren't allowed to discuss suicide on the forum. Thanks for understanding... Karen
