Do I need to seek help

I have called myself fat and ugly since I was in kindergarten. People say that I am not but every time i see myself i feel nauseous. I have always felt bad about the way I am to the point where I sit like I am drawing into myself with my hair in my face ( unknowingly). I have even done other things I am not too proud of. This issue hurts the people I love. The guy I like said he couldn't be with me because he sees the problems I have with myself. I am not sure what to do ....

Self low esteem is really common with depression.  I know I felt worthless, and why should any one have anything to do with me?  But really we are all unique and worthy of love,specially to love ourselves.  I know it is hard.

You take care now and think of yourself as beautiful, because you are.  We all are.

You sound like you could really benefit from talking to a professional counselor, you seem to have a lot to say, you're open to feedback and discussion.  You're a perfect candidate for talk therapy, give it a shot!

You have a low self esteem.  I remember saying to a doctor's receptionist, "I was a nice person before I got depression."  I also thought myself fat and ugly.  All part of depression.  Are you on anti-depressant medication?

I hide myself away when I am ill.  Now I am on medication, I can face the world again, but I still think I am fat and ugly.  Well perhaps I am.

Take care, and have a chat to a professional about how you feel.

I think counseling might really help you. Did someone say something mean to you about your appearance when you were in kindergarten?  Remar
