Hiya,
I have a massive problem with lack of self-image, self-esteem and confidence. Can't seem to get the image out of my head of when I was a 'bigger girl'. It's really starting to effect my life to be honest. I dont like the way I look (yes, I am aware I have lost 3 stone but it doesnt make any difference to the way I feel), I dont like bathing, showeing or seeing myself naked and I dont even like 'doing it' with the light on, it has to be off and in the pitch black as I dont want to see myself. We dont do it that often now because of my lack of self-image etc The psychiatrists I work for have suggested antidepressants but really dont want to go down that route. My other half has also suggested hypnotherapy but I have ruled that right out!!
Does anyone else have this or had it and have any tips on how to build my self back up? Its been gradually getting worse over the past year and a bit. I dont want to get to the point where it ruins my relationship with my other half.
Sorry for the essay and thanks for reading x
