Self Esteem When Feeling Down

[Bpirgy08]

When I'm feeling down usually my self esteem is also taking a hit. I do not want to get ready or have no motivation to wear cute clothes. I do find once I get myself together I do feel better but some days I can not find the motivation and I just feel worst. Does this happen to anyone else? I am not alone right?

Not alone at all. I have very bad self esteem for different reasons mainly i'm not a generally attractive person and my family/school mates growing up made sure to let me know.

I used to really like putting makeup on, but now I don't. I also don't wear 'cute' clothes, just jeans and regular t's. I don't really have time to put in to do my hair or makeup and after years of just feeling low, it's become just common or normal to me. I still feel bad though, that I don't take care of my image the way other girls do but then I also don't have it in me to put in the time.

Take it one day at a time, baby steps to get back to feeling better.

You aren't alone. I am sitting on the couch with no bra, lounge clothes on and messy hair. I washed and moisturized my face and brushed my teeth. Today that is good enough.
