I want so desperately to fall in love, but my body is hideous. I’m covering nearly head to toe in scabs I’ve given myself from anxiety to the point it’s embarrassing to wear shorts or t-shirts outside. I feel so disgusting every time I look at myself.

speaking from experience, the key to getting real love is practicing self-love. if you openly love yourself you will attract someone that feels the same

If you haven’t seen a physician or counselor, please do. I suffer from the same anxiety and “picking” coping mechanism. Once I started taking a low dose anxiety med and working with a counselor, it was much more manageable. You are not hideous nor disgusting. I know it can feel that way, but our feelings also lie to us. You are a beautiful human trapped behind anxiety, and there are people who are just waiting to help you shine. They’ve trained for it, and will respect you.
