She's always worried a bit how she looks and I always tell her she is pretty (which she is) but out of the blue yesterday she tells me she wants to change her drama option (which tbh I think is too late) because she has no confidence to get up in front of people and act. When I asked her why she just started crying saying she is ugly, she feels self conscious, she hates the way she looks, she's fat etc... I just couldn't understand how she can feel like this, I thought she was happy and confident, now she tells me she is not. I tried to say it could be pmt as she only just started her periods but she's been on-line and has convinced herself she is suffering from social anxiety, she's joined a chat forum with others - she would rather talk to strangers than me.... So I thought okay, maybe I will try the same but on here - are any other mums out there having similar issues? Thanks
