Struggling to get over comments people have made about my appearance before, any advice?
I think the first comment I ever remember receiving was when I first got braces, I had really crooked teeth and my baby teeth weren't falling out correctly, and then when my adult teeth started coming in I had bad overjet (buck teeth) and my stepmom would call me Bucky beaver :(
I got made fun of a lot for my weight in middle school and high school too... in middle school I got made fun of for having man boobs a lot, and then in high school it was just more stuff about my weight, like when I bleached my hair blonde to look like Eminem and then got called "Not So Slim Shady" :(
A few years ago when I lost 65 lbs, all my family kept telling me is how I looked too skinny and unhealthy, even when I asked them to stop.
I am unsure of how to move forward and was looking to see if I could get advice from people on here... I find it very hard to separate comments people have made about me from my mental illness.
