I have such a change in mood in the mornings. When i'm in my pjs and dressing gown, no make-up on, really tired and depressed i really cant face the world and if i have to go somewhere i HATE it! But when i get dressed and do my make-up i feel slightly better. I need a routine because im so self conscious and little things like that can help me.
If you look good, do you feel good?

I am the same way. I feel better, get more house work done, etc when I am dressed, my hair is brushed (looks decent), etc than when I am just in my pjs all day.

I don't believe that I am a vain person, and I don't find myself any more attractive or unattractive as the next girl, so I hate that my mood changes so drastically depending on what I see in the mirror. I can feel on top of the world, then catch a look of myself in the mirror and will become absolutely miserable - I will change any plans I had and curl up on the couch for the rest of the day. I don't really understand it.

It’s natural to want to look nice, I don’t know if it’s vanity because that means you think you look better than everyone else, but we probably do take it a bit far, because you all look great in your photo’s and I am sure my self esteem would hit the roof if I looked like any of you, as long as you have a good heart and have beauty where it should count fixing yourself up a little is fine. I, have different ideas about exterior then most and I believe natural beauty is to be something that comes from within. I, do believe it’s something you do need to know when enough is enough, but I understand how you feel with not looking good to yourself, stops you from wanting to go places.

I agree with what you say about natural beauty coming from within - this is exactly how I feel. Which is why I say I don't understand the way I react after seeing my reflection sometimes... I am an absolute believer in inner beauty, and my taste in beauty is more about personality and the person underneath the exterior, and I actually find perfect beauty sort of, well, boring. Yet I have such a vain reaction to my own self. It is a conflict I have within myself that needs to get sorted out.

i'm the same way, aims! like if i get a cute new shirt or outfit, get dressed and have a 'good hair day' it makes me feel better, and more excited to get out of the house.. that's why i love clothes/getting new clothes so much, haha.. if i haven't gotten anything new in a while, it makes me want to buy something so i can have something to be excited about to get me out of the house, lol..

I think similarly accept natural beauty is within so it shouldn’t matter what you do to your outside, but that thought pattern hasn’t brought me any closer to accepting myself. I, also believe whilst we are at the age to still procreate it is hard to get our mind around this needing to look good insecurity it’s not true for everyone of course just a theory because it seem like at a certain age people just don’t care about this type of thing anymore, makes you wonder if it’s their thought pattern/ beliefs or biological.

I'm weird, I don't normally wear make up and nice cloths and when I am fooling around and getting dressed nice and putting on make up it makes me feel good but as soon as I'm done doing my makeup and whatever I can feel it and it makes me feel like crap so I just stick to not doing it
so I just stick to not doing it

Me too, whenever i've made no effort and lounge around in my pjs, hair all scruffy, acne because i've not used my face cream i feel so depressed. But when i used my face cream and have a clear face, exercised, showered/bathed, straightend my hair, do my make up, i feel so much better. I don't feel attractive ... but i do feel better and it really helps with the depression.

I'm like that to. I thought i'm the only women on earth having this issues. The last time I put on makeup was like a year ago on a party that i was forced to go and i feel like crap the whole evening.
Of course when I will pass this depression episode I'll try to look good as to do some socialising, cause I cant do none loooking like a gipsy
Haha i like gypsys
