Stretch marks 😔

Has any one else had their body completely ruined by stretch marks?

I’m 5 weeks postpartum and I don’t think I’ll ever be able to wear anything that shows my body. Not even a swimsuit. I can deal with the loose skin left from being pregnant, but I hate the stretch marks. I don’t know what to do to help lighten them or to come to a place where I don’t feel disgusted when I look at myself. I love my son, I really do, but I feel like I’ve given up every part of myself and it’s hard to accept. I miss being able to feel sexy when standing naked in front of my husband or being in a bathing suit at the beach. I miss not getting embarrassed when I stretch and my shirt shows a little bit of my stomach. I feel like my body is covered in these and that there are more marks then skin. When I see pictures of other women they all have flawless skin, I never see pictures of someone having stretch marks the way I do. I used to think I was beautiful and I was proud of my body but now I feel like crying every time I think about how I’m going to look for the rest of my life.
