I have an issue. Some days I can’t even look in the mirror without bursting into tears. I don’t know how to fix it and it’s getting worse by keeping me from enjoying myself with my friends and family. I’m sorry for bothering you I just need some help

hi darling. do me a favor, go stand I’m front of the mirror. force yourself to meet your eyes. get close, look at all the different colors in your iris, watch how it changes when you blink and then open your eyes wide, imagine you are staring into the eyes of a lover, make them soft and kind, fall in love. run two fingers up the skin of the underneath of your forearm, feel how soft that skin is, as soft as a kitten’s ears. feel how nice your fingers feel, gentle on your fragile skin, fall in love. pout your lips, wiggle your fingers and watch your tendons move, put a finger on your pulse and imagine blood rushing into and out of your heart, picture your lungs filling and emptying, close your eyes and feel the empty space behind them, fall in love. your body is keeping you alive, it is the only one you have and it loves you so much, try your best to love it back.
