Post The mirror

I am a model and cant get my face out of the mirror, every day i have people tell me how gorgeous i am and i just want to cry. I dont like anything about me and i have close to fifteen wanted suries in mind, i feel so awful, i want to perfect everything about me and i cant, sometimes i dont even want to live anymore, i obsess over everything on my body, it takes me three hours to get ready in the morning and then two hours for bed and then about two dozen times during the day i freshen up and fix my hair and makeup if there is reason to, i cant possible live like this forever. any ideas of what kind of mental illness this is this time?? thanks

it sounds like some kind of OCD i guess the only way to know for sure would be to see your dr?

are you currently on any medication or seeing a counsellor at all it may help to talk things over with someone?

Your a model,cool.I want to be one but I'm too short. Anyway, someone once told me that the media is so fake.Hollywood pretends to be this picture perfect place where everyone is so thin and so gorgeous,you know.That might be why your so down on yourself because you try to live up to all the impossible standards that Hollywood makes.Feel better soo.

Your right, you can't live like this forever. You need to get counseling. That will benefit you the most. People can't make you change, you have to help yourself to change.
Take care
