I just want to die. Why can't I just wear gloves 24/7? Maybe I can. I have the most hideously ugly tiny little stubby hands ever. Who would want to be with someone with hands like mine?

Seriously, try and tell me these things aren't hideous. You can't.

They may not be maimed or covered in weird warts or whatever, but they're still hideous :(

Your hands are quite lovely. Dainty and cute. There, I said it!

Haha, thank you :p I still think they're hideous (and maybe secretly you do too), but at least you weren't so repulsed you couldn't reply. And Roman Legion as well. haha. Perhaps all is not lost. Until I get depressed about them again :rolleyes:

I think you're just a lil too hard on yourself, that's all. :)

If someone judges you just for your hands, they aren't worth your time anyway. Even if your hands were odd, look at Stephen Hawking; the man can't even move at all and people admire him to the nth degree because of his mind and rightly so. I wouldn't let hands get you down, such a trivial thing to worry about as long as your hands are fully operational. Remind me to show you my left hand, the ring finger (Or whatever its called) is painted black and I get strange looks and rednecks staring at it all the time.

your hands look fine nothing wrong with them. I know girls that had hands that had fingers that looked like toes.

Never felt more alone. :alone: Spent the last 3 days crying :crying: because I feel I've totally relapsed back into old patterns

No-one in real life takes my problems seriously anymore, so I just gonnae stop opening up about them. Stay silence, it for the best, really. I just cause trouble when I open my mouth anyways. Just have to find an alternate way of dealing with ma suicidal thoughts because talking with family hasn't helped any. ::(:

They don't look "hideous" to me. But the BDD can only see things from it's own perspective, nobody else's. So someone can say "your hands look okay" but you won't believe them, as the BDD is not allowing any other possibilities!.

There's a surprising minimal amount of actual difference (dimensions-wise) in all the different types of hands out there. Which in terms of BDD, these minimal differences create HUGE subjective differences.

God intended for your hands to be exactly as they are, no bigger, no smaller, no longer, no darker, no wider, no narrower. So by not accepting them exactly as they are, you are actually doing God a disservice, disrespecting him, & his intentions. It's all for a reason, good and bad.

Okay, so you may find them to be hideous/etc, which is a for sure a bad feeling to have, similar to shame or humiliation .. both of which are very low in life-energy (ie rather close to not wanting to exist). But you CAN get rid of these FEELINGS, which is the important thing (don't ask me how, but i do know its possible).

And another thing which adds to the distress, but is not directly related, is that you're associating how your hands are, to the idea that no sane guy will want to be your life-partner. Obviously this is an important issue for you (being a young woman). You need to understand that, if i can say this politely, the world does not revolve around your hands. Maybe your world does. Maybe many males out there are obsessed with perfect-looking girls, with zero flaws or idiosyncracies or character, who are sex-on-sticks. But they are not "the world". So you need to try and separate your issues, and not bundle them all-together into your "hands issue". Just like all other problems you may have, they are separate but have connections to each other.

Sorry to hear that. Thing is, family is probably one of the least suitable places to seek help, unfortunately, as they are too emotionally-invested. Also chances are they have no no experience with the stuff you're going thru (certainly not experts!). The basic result is that they can often make things worse rather than better, due to you upsetting them, &/or vice-versa. As i said, there's too much "emotion" floating around, for family to be of much practical help in this regard.

I recommend writing stuff on this forum. Reading articles or books on depression/suicide/etc. Or videos, such as this Echart Tolle video on youtube: Echart Tolle video
And ideally try to seek answers from "within", rather than the external world, as all the answers are there.

Aye, I agree with you, there, mate. :thumbup: I suppose writing on this forum can be helpful.

Though, seeking answers from "within" can be quite difficult for me, I don't mean that to be cynical. I mean that in the sense that I don't really know where to start. :idontknow: Especially without any support emotionally. Anyway, I'll seek out out some articles and books on anxiety and depression and how to deal with it.

And, in keeping with what you said - slightly - I think I need tae start standin' up for myself, even if some of ma opinions are likely to cause family conflicts/arguments. :eek:h:

I'm feeling pretty good. Things are going well, uni is nice, I'm getting good grades, not feelings pressured, I have everything under control in there, unlike a year ago, which was a mess haha
Plus, I got an unexpected text from an old "special friend" of mine.
Also, I didn't have to go to class since Wednesday and won't have to go back until Tuesday, and even there, this coming week I barely have any classes, which will give me time to do a lot of homework and work in my research project. And play some games too :D

A friend had a misunderstanding with a female friend of his (an acquaintance of mine) and she's over-exaggerating (to the point of lying) what happened and making him out to be bad guy, and telling everyone all about it (even his friends who she doesn't know) etc looking for sympathy, putting statuses about it etc.

Meanwhile he's really hurting because of her false accusations but is being a lot more dignified by not gossiping about it.

And she's the one getting all the sympathy from neutrals who are now looking at him with disgrace when he did absolutely nothing like she is suggesting he did. I saw what happened so this isn't just me being biased in favour of a friend. It's just me being annoyed that just because somebody is whinging and moaning they're getting their own way.
I'm sorry, I empathise a great deal with those who are insecure because I am too, but I resent those who resort to attention seeking, especially at the expense of somebody else who has just as little confidence in themselves.
That sucks... hopefully people will realize that she's lying and that it all won't affect him too much.


As for anyone who needs it, this song always makes me feel better- Enjoy! :)
