I am no longer looking cute in pictures.
I always thought I was good looking but I don’t think so. I turned 30 - 2 weeks ago.
I have been trying to lose weight for the past year with not much luck. Maybe it’s the meds.
Rant over.

I got sz symptoms at age 30 and went unreachably bonkers for three years. I don’t even remember that much from those years unless I try. I feel like I lost those years and now I’m even older.
30 is when the aging starts, time to start eating healthy i guess. We’re still young compared to many posters on the site.
I’m a vegan!! I eat super healthy compared to what my friends eat. I should be skinny. My weight is not budging.
I got hit by scz at the age 21. Regained some sanity after I turned 26. My twenties were awful.
Oh I’m sorry to hear that, I was only Bipolar in my twenties. I didn’t date enough, I was putting that off for some reason. I’m amazed you can be a vegan, I eat so much unhealthy stuff, and a lot of meat too. I just don’t feel full without it.
Those habits should help a lot. About the weight thing, I used to be 135 lbs in my 20s, five foot eleven. At about 27 it went up to 155 and at 30 it went to 180. The only way to drop below 180 now is to starve myself 
@mermaid1, you’re still young, don’t let turning 30 get you down 
.
I’m turning 39 on Sunday; I’ve got you beat lol.

Exactly I feel like I need to starve myself to lose weight. That’s the only thing working for real!
Maybe I will give this intermittent fasting a try.
I just feel a bit down.
I am in a relationship so I am not dating. I just don’t feel good about myself.
I’m sure you’re being too hard on yourself. We can be our own worst critics.

I tried taking some pictures of myself with a beauty product for a company and no matter what, they looked terrible. I will try again Sunday.

Take like 50 photos and pick the best one. That’s the only way I can look good in a photo.

You’re not helping LOL.
I think I look fine in videos but for some reason, my pictures need a lot of retouching. I have eye bags, crow feet, uneven eyebrows.
You’re being too hard on yourself I’m sure you look fine and will continue to.

I don’t wanna look ‘just fine’
I think you look beautiful, but that’s just my humble opinion.

It’s okay thank you. I am trying to come to terms with growing older. I have to start acting like an adult I guess. The 20’s are gone and I need to be more mature.
beauty companies are starting to advertise what real woman look like now, they are not just focusing on the perfect model, you look good in the pic’s I’ve seen

You look great.
I’d say around 30 I started looking different,
Its not a bad thing and it doesn’t mean I look OLD,
Just different.
I like the more mature looking me.
