Really low self worth and confidence

I've always had low self esteem. But it's an an all time low and basically non existent ever since I gained 10kg from my birth control which I stopped almost a year ago and have tried everything including pt to lose the weight and its made no difference. I'm supposed to be going on a solo trip in a few days and now I really don't want to go as I just feel too ugly and disgusting to go and I know I can't put my life on hold until I lose weight again but I don't know how to feel differently or what to do. I just want my old body back. Just feeling so low and fragile and whenever someone is unkind to me I automatically link it to my weight and make myself feel even worth. Any advice or kind words appreciated.

i'm really sorry youre going through that, it sounds tough. ive had issues too with body image and i understand how hard it can be. what helps for me is just trying to remember that your body is pretty amazing. it works insanely hard to keep you alive every day, don't take that for granted.
enjoy your holiday, you deserve it, try not to let anything stop you from having a good time.
you're absolutely beautiful i promise, and anyone who says otherwise is just miserable and not worth your time.

youre doing amazing <3 :smile:
