if you saw my last picture and you see this you will notice a huge difference . This is what depression will do. I don’t do my hair anymore or take care of my self . Because I honestly just don’t have the energy. I’m not even the quite bit happy in this. That is a fake smile . You might not be able to see my skin and how drained it looks . The circles under my eyes .
When my friend showed me this I was really upset. I do look like I’m on drugs every day. I have to put on pounds of makeup to look some what alive . People are always asking me if I’m sick when I’m out and about . I’m really pale so everything shows .
the point is that this is what it looks like . Horrible. It drains every part of your soul and body . I wish I could go back to being alive .

I’m sorry that you feel that you look that way, but please believe me when I say that I think you look beautiful. I’m not a guy or a expert judge, but I see someone who has faced the world and wants the truth to be told. I see eyes that have experienced more than most, and a posture that suggests to me that you’re holding a huge burden. I don’t see the gaunt skeletal face of a drug user. I just see someone who is fighting to get by, and that gets my respect.
Thank you
The pic is black and white so it’s hard to tell, but to me you look normal. I think if you just ate healthier, got proper sleep and exercised you’ll have color in your face again. Otherwise you’re a pretty girl. I think you have a lot to look forward to-plus you’re still young, unlike some of us.
I think older people can still have a lot to look forward to. It’s hard to start life when your young. I struggle every day
Ya, that’s why I’m still around-though I’m in my 40s, I still think I have a chance to get back in shape and hopefully find some lovely person to share the rest of my life with.
I understand how hard it is hun-I remember when I was young and things felt so overwhelming. But you basically need to create a good plan for yourself then, stick to it-whatever that goal is. Hopefully you have a good support network of friends/family that can help you along.
You’re definitely above average looking IMO, so I agree with Ashley – if you started taking care of yourself you’d be fine.
By that I mean you look like you could be a pretty celebrity 😉
Still beautiful, sucker. One day you’ll get over this beauty handicap. Then you’ll be allowed to hang with the cool kids in the Star Wars Cantina.
And now i have that damn cantina song stuck in my head again. Hopefully it will only be for a couple of weeks this time!
Agree btw, by that picture you’d think the op just had a night of below regular sleep and that’s all. Nothing that more water, a bit of self care, and a tad less of depression can’t fix. I have some college mates about your age and, heh, they wish they looked “that bad”.
Your beautiful. But depression will age you.
Man, I’ve been depressed for ten years and I still don’t look as good. Life sucks!
You’re very beautiful even though it’s just for the picture that smile looks good on you hopefully you’ll be able to wear it more often
