Hi all,
I have absolutely no idea what I seek to achieve from this post, maybe hoping someone feels similar and I'm not alone.
I really really struggle with body image and low self esteem. I am so incredibly critical of myself and I know it is damaging my relationship.
I hate the way I look, I always have since very young.
Now with social media etc I find I spend the majority of my day comparing myself to others.
I obsess over the fact that my partner is inundated with images of attractive women daily through things like Instagram and tiktok and I am convinced that he'd sooner be with someone else.
I drive him crazy with the insecurity and he's so reassuring but I always end up back in this head space.
I have tried therapy which helps for a while but then I'll try on a new outfit or see a picture of myself and immediately return to self loathing.
I don't know what to do anymore other than be on my own so I'm not worrying about not being good enough.
I feel so low.
Thank you if anyone read any of this.
