I'm so sorry that you are feeling that way. Many people struggle with body image and self-esteem so I want you to know that you are not alone. If you are having thoughts of self-harm it is important to let you parents or an adult that you trust know that you are having these thoughts. Harming yourself physically will not eliminate the feelings that you are having. It's important to reach out for help, and writing here was your first step. I am going to provide you with some websites that talk about self-harm and self-esteem https://healthyisthenewskinny.com/ https://www.nami.org/Learn-More/Mental-Health-Conditions/Related-Conditions/Self-harm If you want to talk more you can call/text 2NDFLOOR Youth Helpline 24/7 at 888-222-2228.
This is a safe space to share what's on your mind and to get support from real people.
