Down in the dumps

I feel this way a lot. What helps me is wearing and doing things i’m confident in and going out and just giving other people compliments, uplifting others, hanging out with positive people, etc. I hope this doesn’t sound weird lol

I have had this issue many times. And no matter how many times someone would tell me “you’re so beautiful” I didn’t feel like it. Over the past year, I have gained weight due to my previous birth control. I have felt very self conscious and I just don’t feel as confident/comfortable as I once did. Well, I started eating better and mixing Apple Cider Vinegar in my waters, and I’ve lost 15 pounds so far. I still have ways to go, but I love the fact that I can the weight I’ve lost. Just keep your head up and tell yourself that you’re beautiful. Sometimes it doesn’t help to hear it from other people. I’m in college and I also feel like I’m not smart enough in ways. It really bothers me because I want to succeed. I’ve learned to take a breath and take my time when it comes to studying or taking tests. I have really bad test anxiety. I’ve learned to breathe and not second guess myself. I hope this helps you!
