Hello everyone i am new to the community and need to be inspired i am a 26yrs old. The person i see in the mirror is not me. I use to be so fun and happy and out of nowhere the depression came. Recently i have lost my job,apt,car and my "boyfriend" left me! my family hates him he is rude,loud conceited and did i say rude! He has contributed to the depression. Over the yrs ive gained a few pounds so he calls me fat and ugly all te time makes me feel low. but here is the catch when i was smaller he didnt know me. when we met i was this same size!!!!! I feel like im losing life i have lost everything i had. including ME! I feel i have lost my connection with GOD and have nowhere to turn. i cant find a career path the works for me i even take showers and brush my teeth in the dark because i dont want to see myself i have let him win and make me think im not beautiful both inside and out!!!....ladies im just lost! Ive joined this community in hopes to become strong independent women like you. And maybe one day down the line another woman will post a blog like this and i can help!
