low self esteem, low confidence, self harmer and body issues.?

Insecurity and low self esteem. What should I do?

I'm sixteen in a week.

In the past 3 years my self confidence has been awful. I look in the mirror and I cry, I avoid going out, at times I starve myself, i've smashed my mirror, I've cut, I've done a lot of stuff to my body.

I despise myself quite frankly. I hate everything about me.

I can't accept compliments.

I'm ED-NOS because of m low self esteem.

Despite being a US 6-8

UK 10-12 my body doesn't look the same as the size I am. I'm just, revolting.

I'm not short of male attention and female attention for that matter but I still despise my appearance.

i'm extremely unhappy.

I don't want to go to somebody for two reasons a) I don't know who i would go to

and b) I'm scared this will be put down to adolescence.

    There are much extra motives that folk social gathering than what some %. up artist says. oftentimes what %. up artists say is finished crap. people can social gathering for various motives, all and sundry has their faults and a superb type of the time in long relationships the solid outweighs the undesirable. people do no longer in basic terms come at the same time for one reason and whilst self belief could be captivating it would not constantly make that individual a competent better half. each and every individual has insecurities, they constantly have some doubts, they are in specific circumstances irrational and that they do make blunders, it quite is stated as being human and we won't in simple terms wave magic wands and make the failings we dislike disappear. i like that my better half can share his insecurities with me, it skill he trusts me and that i think we are able to artwork on ours at the same time, yet I by no skill assume them to fade.

    The best thing for you to do is get help from a professional. A psychologist would not just think it is a normal part of adolescence. With help you can learn to love yourself for who you are. You could ask a school counselor or teacher, someone , anyone you can trust to help you find the help you clearly need. Good luck to you.

    ps. try loving who you are inside instead of worrying what you look like.
