Prom is coming up. My stress is through the roof already and now this? I bought a dress back in January and never had time to go get it tailored, so today I went by a shop and they said they can’t fix it. The tailor told me to go through her catalog of dresses and so I did. But I like seeing how the dress really looks on me. Plus I’m definitely not the skinniest in the world so not all the dressss came in my measurements. My waist is a lot smaller than my bust/hip and they’re at odd numbers so it was hard to find a good dress for me. In the end, I found one. (Still haven’t told my mom about the situation). When I got home I had to explain it. Then she was clearly blaming me for it. Buying a dress online, not keeping the receipts, my weight/body, wasting her money etc. etc. So I posted two sell ads for last years dress and the dress I couldn’t get tailored. Then I showed my mom the new dress I’ll be getting. She said she didn’t like it. So now I don’t know how I feel about it. She doesn’t understand how much her opinion means to me. If she says she doesn’t like it, it’ll make me hate it, then feel uglier wearing it. So I have to sell two dreses, pay my mom back, get a job, buy prom tickets…just so much stuff I have to do in so little time. And I pray to the stars I don’t get sick because when i get really stressed, I’ve noticed, I get sick.
I just hate my body honestly. Everything looks wrong. I am trying to work on it but it’s hard sometimes. I just wish I could accept myself but I can’t. I hope my dress/prom with friends will make it better.
So I hope everyone is doing well. How’s everyone else’s day going?
– Sincerely,

I’m sorry about this whole situation. Hope it gets better and please don’t blame it all on yourself.
Thank you for saying that. I just hope in the end it’ll all be okay. 🙂
Sorry to hear your story I hate my body image to your not alone my day is going ok made it out the house today depression and anxiety been really bad
Thank you for reading my little rant. Sometimes it’s just hard to accept myself but maybe I can in some way or another haha. I do hope you feel better, much care is sent to you. 🙂
I’m sorry for the dress stress. I feel you and hope you can resolve it so you can go and have a good time.
I had the opposite problem way way way back when I was in High School. No one wanted to go to prom with me. I was an outcast because I was ugly and fat and not one of the cool kids. I even got desperate and asked a few boys – and they all laughed at me. One actually said “Why would I want to go anywhere with *you*?” So, I never got to go to prom or homecoming or participate in anything because I just was nothing to those people and I was left out of everything, and I view it as a telling moment in my life that symbolizes everything that came after. I was rejected, desperate, and a castoff piece of shit standing around hoping that someone would care just a little – but no one did. I was a freaking joke and still am.
If I had it to do all over again, I probably would have tried harder to find someone to go with. Every time I think about high school, that one event (or non-event in my case) is what I remember. I remember hearing all of the stories about what everyone else did. I remember hearing about the dresses and the dinners and the fun. I remember that everyone else had a great time, and I sat at home crying because no one wanted a fat ugly piece of shit like me. That feeling has persisted for my entire life.
Sweetie, please wear something that makes YOU feel good – to hell with everyone else. Go. Have fun. Be awesome.
Thank you for reading it all and even spending time to leave a comment. No guy has ever asked me to anything but homework answers haha. I’ve never even been in a relationship, which makes me think of how no guy can like me etc. I’m only going with my closer friends. But I am sorry you never got your chance, but you can always make it up for your own self in some ways. And even though you don’t like your image, I think you’re already an amazing person by just leaving a comment for me. Thank you so much, 🙂
I am a dude who went to prom a life time ago and i regretted going. I still hate my body to this day. I asked an exchange student out and she was unhappy. I only went because mom and grandma missed their proms so they wanted me to go to mine. I never went to any other dance. I guess to reiterate old cow’s point. Try to enjoy yourself the best you can. I’m sure youre a pretty girl and any guy you go with would be lucky to go with you…. or don’t go and say fuck the whole thing. Just dont let your mom a dress you’ll only wear once or anyone else ruin your moment. Its easier said than done but doable.
Thank you for spending your time to leave me a comment. I’m very sorry that you didn’t enjoy yourself and that you regret it. But hey, it’s not for everyone. In all honesty, I go for my friends. I have a very whacked memory and I tend to forget things very easily so I go to events such as prom so that I can remember the good moments of my life/friends etc. Also I try to not let my mom/parents ruin my moments but it’s still hard since they’re still my parents. But yes, I will try to enjoy myself and thank you so much. 🙂
So what happened to the dress(es) and the prom?
