my boyfriend struggled with depression, self harm, and anorexia for years before I was with him. Girls are not the only ones who struggle with their image, and I feel like too many people are oblivious to the fact that a man can hate himself just as much, if not more than a girl can. I'm glad to say that my boyfriend is no longer starving himself, cutting, or depressed, but occasionally he still struggles with not feeling good enough, and it breaks my heart. so to any male who struggles with these things, you are beautiful exactly the way you are. and I'm so, so sorry if you don't feel that way, because its true. and you're not alone, ever.
