Forgot what i looked like

I went through a period where I couldn’t remember my own face. i started carrying around old pictures of myself for reassurance. i feared that i had been spending too much time looking and thinking about things that weren’t related to my life.

as a result i began to only worry about myself and nothing else. i started to try and remember as many aspects of my life as i could. it was my selfish period. im still kind of in this period but coming out of it.

now i don’t carry pictures of myself but i do find myself taking a lot more photos and i like to study the changes in my appearance as the years go by.

I don’t know what my face looks like. I’m pretty sure I’m ugly.

i could probably draw a rough sketch of myself, but it wouldn’t be that good. my memory has improved considerably the last 2 or 3 years, whereas before i wouldn’t have been able to draw anything.

before i’d look into the mirror, see whats there and then forget like 20 seconds later.

i think it was a curse for looking in the mirror too much. i only check the mirror once or twice a day now.

I look in the mirror when I go to the bathroom. That’s about it.

same here…just when i go to the bathroom now. mom’s problem is she likes to put mirrors all over the house. I’ve gotten rid of a few. even broke one during an episode.

That doesn’t sound too good for your mental health. Have you ever talked to her about it?

my dad was pissed and wanted to know why i broke the mirror. i told him i didn’t want mirrors everywhere. mom never said anything about it.

i’m probably going to be in my own place soon, so that should fix the problem.

i used to look into every mirror i passed by, now i just ignore them as much as i can
