Hi id put my anxiety down too maybe insecurities in myself and self image first. Very self conscious pulling my top down to cover myself every couple of minutes every time im outside the house. I dont feel pretty, i dont feel like i have the ideal body shape or face. It takes over my life.

You are beautiful because you are you!! Trust me! *hugs*
Hi papasmurf18xo, Welcome to the Anxiety Support forum. People are here for many different reasons associated with anxiety. Self esteem and insecurities is just one of the many issues that are talked about. You are such a beautiful young lady, but unless you feel that confidence within yourself, it means nothing.
First of all you need to know there is no ideal body shape or face. You don't want to be a "cookie cutter" of someone else. Every girl is unique and brings a beauty of their own. But it's more than about outer appearance. It's about feeling good about yourself that shows through your eyes, your actions, your smile.
Speaking with a professional therapist may start you on the road in feeling more secure in who you are. We can support you, comfort you but the answer needs to come from you. You are young and may need time to accept yourself. I don't think you are any different then any other teen girl. Too many expectations are put on our youth of today. I hope you talk with someone, even a counselor at school , that can help you. Know that we are here for you because we care. xx
