How often should a teenager go shopping?

I hate my self image?

• so when i was a teenager i really struggled with the way i looked, i hated myself, would avoid mirrors/reflections and when faced with myself would feel sick at the sight. i never told anyone how i felt until recently and eventually i guess those feelings passed in the extreme. the problem is that self hatred is still there sometimes. often when i go clothes shopping i tend to feel bad about myself and sometimes really struggle with the way i look. i do have depression and am having counseling but how do i deal with this problem more directly? no matter how many times people say they think i'm pretty or try to make me feel better it never changes how i feel about myself. for instance, i'm going on holiday in a week so went shopping for clothes today but i'm actually a little scared i'll look awful in my clothes on holiday to the point it kinda takes the excitement out of going away! what's wrong with me and how do i get better?

• Answer:

  the only way for you to get better is to have Self Worth, the only way to help your self image is yourself no one can tell you enough that you are pretty, and smart ect.. You are the only one that can help yourself make yourself feel good-- Thats why its called self love Self esteem Self Worth Cause only you can give it to yourself
