Venting Body dysmorphia being the driving force of my feelings

[justanotherhuman237]

Okay, to give context about me, I'm 5 foot tall and 115.6lbs and I swear to god I'm the fattest person in the world. Like I see all these people with flat stomachs and then mine being raised and realize my appearance is why nobody will ever love me and that's why I should just die. it's kind of a whole spiral of thoughts with one thing leading to another and I don't know how to stop it. My thought process always goes that I'd rather die than be alone. This is kind of a random rant but I think I found one of the main causes of my depression and suicidal thoughts, so I just wanted to share and see if anyone has tips.

Same, body insecurities are what got me here. Weight for me was actually one of easier ones to figure out. Whole food vegan diet worked for me, after I made that adjustement weight almost completely stopped being a problem for me. But other insecurities fucked me up. 115 lbs seems like quite low weight even for a 5ft tall female, I presume. You not fat okay, nowhere in the vacinity of fat. Idk why you feel self concious about it, maybe you don't like the way even little excess fat is distrubuted on your body and I get it. I also had to be as lean as possible or I'd get love handles and my face would be chubby. I guess my only advice would be to go on a whole food vegan diet, eat low salt, drink lots of water, intermittent fasting (16-8), and do zone 2 training (light jogging, walking, and easy bike riding) and throw in some high intensity interval training, and also some muscle work like pushups and squats. Maybe your stomach is also bloated cuz poor diet/digestion and for that intermittent fasting works as well as cutting out sugar, gluten, dairy. Also when you get older it kinda stops being that much of an issue. When you in early 20s it's like driving you nuts but as you get older it's less of a thing you worry about.

I don't have any tips. That's a very valid reason to be sad. I've been suffering from the exact same except I am very very very fat and ugly too. I've been suffering from ED from years now. And it break my heart Everytime someone feels like I do bcuz I know it's the most heartbreaking thing ever. Pls, I wish you the best
