Feeling really crap about myself today and need a handheld

So the past while I have been going through a very difficult time. I was diagnosed with ADHD a while ago which helped to explain so much for me, but as a result I deal with crippling anxiety all the time. I take medication but it has limited effect.

Anyway I had been feeling like ctap for a while and decided to do something to cheer myself up. I went for a consultation about a skin treatment I was interested in but sadly the nurse there made me feel even more crap about myself and did nothing but insult me, saying I had 1 eye bigger than the other (I've had an eye condition since birth and its already something I'm very self conscious about), that I "looked tired" and in general could find nothing positive or kind to say. I ended up leaving without booking an appointment. It all left me feeling really crap because my self esteem is already on the floor. I used to be reasonably attractive but now I just look like crap and tired all the time. I realise that it's probably my self esteem being so low though that is making me feel like this.

I just need a handheld, I have spoken to a few people about how I'm feeling and speak to a therapist but things are just getting on top of me today and being criticised so harshly just did a bit of a number on me.

Thanks for reading 💗

That was horrible and hugely unprofessional of her. I'd be very tempted to let the business know exactly how they'd lost a potential client.

@christmaslover100 I definitely think I will. I would hate to think she actually speaks this way to everyone

So sorry @christmaslover100 . This was a horrible and rude way to speak to a potential customer. I can imagine if you felt low this would make you feel even worse. You are worth so much more than this horrible woman's words though and I would definitely leave a bad review

Horrid woman. Try and out it behind you and concentrate on being kind to yourself in small ways . A soak in the bath, paint your toe nails and use a face pack. It may make you feel a little better. Sending hugs
