Thought it might be fun if we shared selfies ten years apart, if you want! And maybe a little blurb about the differences in your life
Here’s mine
I was 20 in the first pic and just starting on my gender identity exploration. I was also in college, but this was right before I had to take a year off for my mental health. Later on in 2013 and into 2014 I had my first psychotic episode in a deep depression.
This is about 8 years ago:
I wasn’t struggling with my weight then.
And I look younger,
But not much has really changed.
Well, I broke that vanity chair.
That changed.
You look so cute! I love your style
Thank you!
I loved that romper.
Can’t find it now.
Not that it would fit as well,
But it was cute.
Rompers are seriously the best imo but I can never find any that fit me lol
They’re definitely all different and there seems to be no standard.
Of all the rompers I’ve tried,
I only liked two.
That was one.
One thing for me is I dont have breasts anymore so I have to be careful what style of women’s clothes I buy , low cut looks weird, and lots of women’s clothes are made for those with breasts. It’s frustrating lol
I would totally participate but there really are very few pics I have of me at 20 to 40. I wasnt big into picture taking. I have pics as a child, and pics as a teen and of course current pics, but not much in between. 
And whatever pics I had on phone or pcs have been lost when changed hardware. The only place I might find pics of that era are family and freinds.
As far as a blurb about what was differnent in my life. At 40 I had a house, was working two jobs and was pre first psychotic break, even though I might have had some mild symptoms at the time. It was near the beginning of it all. I do have childhood and teen pics on pc but I dont want to post off topic unless you want me too.
Do you sew?
My sister had a hell of a time finding clothes that fit her body.
She’s 6’2" and a size 4-6.
Learning to sew can change your freaking life if you have a difficult to buy for body.
Go for it! 
I know how to hand sew, not very well, but I have made a few jeans into bell bottoms before. Never made any clothes though, it seems hard
This was me about 11 years ago. F*ed up on morphine, totally out of it, and completely suicidal.
The 2nd one is of me now. Happy. Stable. Sober. The little one is my 9 yr old Abby, and im so grateful to be able to be present in all of my childrens lives now.
Congrats on getting sober!!! I know your kids are glad too 
My sister started with this book.
It’s all easy, fun and done with t-shirts.
My sister even made the wedding dress at the end of the book.
It was beautiful.
I kinda want to post a childhood photo now because of this, if @Moon doesn’t mind the extra off-topic post, haha!
Thank you! I’ll check it out!
@ZombiePupper i don’t mind! I’m gonna find some of me too now haha
Congratulations on being happy , stable and sober .
I’m so happy for you.
I don’t think i have any photos of me taken ten years ago.
My laptop died and I had my old photos in there.
I couldn’t pick just one.
Me (left) and my little brother
This absolute dorkatry from 2002 (I was 7-8 here, idk if this was before or after my birthday that year)
