Relaxed section for discussion and debate that doesn't fit anywhere else. Whether it's advice, how your week is going, a link that's at the back of your mind, or something like that, it can likely go here.

Wow, rough. So there was no particular health or social event that seemed to have started this, as far as you know?
It's been a combination of new and old body image issues that I'm having to reconcile. I'm getting through them, one day at a time.
Let me know if I can help. I think I wrestle with some such matters myself. I struggle with thinking that I'm attractive; I cannot just destroy or ignore my own subconscious ideals, and my own face simply doesn't fit a couple major ones... So maybe you're making more progress than me and I should change that initial statement to, "Let me know [what you're doing]!"
Not sure I have much in the way of beneficial advice right now. I'm just doing my best to work toward being pretty while also trying not to compare myself to other people. 🥹
Hard to argue with!
