Mirror.

[I_Hate_Me_2]

Does anyone look in the mirror and the person staring back at you is not you? Like a stranger is looking at you?

You have all these hidden emotions which portrays you as different emotion - you just have to learn to control your emotions and not the other way around. You need to be strong, courage and you will be paid back with a good life. Doing interest, hobbies and courses will get different emotions out. Seeing your doctor who may be able to advise on recovery courses for you/ mental health courses. Mindful meditation may help in the meantime - books or youtube videos available!

Yes I think we all who have mental health problems see this ,also we also see the old you from time to time the job now is to find a balance between that things happen for us to have a mental breakdown or breakthrouh or episode which changes us forever you can get back things but most have changed I would try and embrace what you have and go from there good luck on your journey.

I don't even brush my teeth in the bathroom I do it in the kitchen.i hated looking at myself knowing I lived a life I regretted and that my son was at the beginning of life and died.i hate shaving looking in the mirror sometimes I get lost staring into the glass.

I’m so sorry to hear about your son. I can hear your pain by reading your reply. I will never understand the full explanation or words people use to say why we loose people/children/animals etc.

I get lost staring as well. A stranger stares back and all I see is someone I don’t recognise. When I am in a bad way it’s worse.

I didn't go for a haircut for almost 2.5 years. I didn't want to look in the mirror. I just cut it myself.
