Lately I’ve just been feeling a bit fed up. I’ve always been someone into clothes/makeup and takes pride in how I look but lately I just don’t have the energy and feel like a frump. Just before haloween I was really burnt out from work and having a difficult few weeks with my disabled son, I have an eating disorder which isn’t great atm so I look quite unwell and tired, I’m unhappy with my weight even though it’s very I’ll, my hair is limp and my skin is terrible but because I have no confidence I just don’t want to dress up etc. I was invited out with friends tonight and turned it down because I just feel so minging. When you’re feeling low how do you get back to yourself? Should I just put my face on and force myself to go I.e fake it til I make it?

Hi OP, I'm sorry you are feeling this way, it's very hard to deal with everything you are describing.
I have no real advice.. I maybe will suggest get a haircut/restyle and focus on feeling better health wise. Lots of water and rest .. once your health has improved it may be easier to get some ideas for how you look..but if inside you feel unwell that may be reflected outwardly. Please be kind to yourself and take some time for your health and wellbeing. Best of luck xx

Practical- get your eyebrows shaped and tinted. Get your eyelashes tinted.
Instantly makes your face look better without any effort.

Drink water, get a really early night.

Are you being treated for your eating disorder? If you are malnourished it’s going to affect your appearance. You may of course be judging yourself from a place of disordered thinking but this sounds a bit more complex than tinting your eyelashes.

Take care. Literally, take care of yourself.
