Any tips/advice for weight loss and clear skin?

I am on medications for my mental health and it makes me feel hungry plus I have really bad acne scars on my face because my dad took me to a dietitian a few years ago and the pill they gave me caused me to have marks all over my face. The pill was called Adipex. I did lose the weight but a few years later I ended up gaining back all the weight and even more weight than I was before

I really hate the way I look

Throughout my life I have had men especially men I have had crushes on reject me or say stuff about the way I look that I am not attractive and I am ugly. I have even been told I am not appealing. I don’t think I am pretty and therapy doesn’t help that. I never liked the way I looked even when I was skinny. Now I am overweight because of my mental health medications. It’s just what can I do if I was born this way? I always had people be so rude and mean to me. I don’t see why people can’t be nice, I have been through so much and I am close to 30 and a virgin.

🎶🖤🎶 MUSIC 🎶🖤🎶

There's something profoundly vulnerable about hitting play on someone else's carefully curated playlist. You're not just hearing their favorite songs—you're stepping into the architecture of their inner world. The transitions they chose, the songs they couldn't leave out, the ones that sit right next to each other for reasons only they fully understand.
Music reveals what words often can't. When someone shares their playlist, they're handing you a map to their emotional landscape. The late-night drives, the heartbreaks they survived, the joy they're still learning to hold.
It's a particular kind of trust, really. To let someone wander through the soundtrack of your soul.

THROWING ROSES INTO THE ABYSS

"...throw roses into the abyss and say: 'here is my thanks to the monster who didn't succeed in swallowing me alive."

Friedrich Nietzsche

This haunting line from Nietzsche's final autobiographical work captures one of his most profound ideas: the transformation of suffering into gratitude.

The "monster" represents all the forces that tried to destroy him — illness, isolation, rejection, despair. The "abyss" is that dark void of meaninglessness and pain we all face at times.

But instead of cursing what nearly broke him, Nietzsche offers roses. Why? Because those struggles forged who he became. The monster that failed to consume him made him stronger, deeper, more alive.

This isn't toxic positivity or pretending pain doesn't hurt. It's something more radical: acknowledging that our greatest trials, the ones that nearly destroyed us, often become the source of our greatest strength and wisdom.

**The paradox:**
We thank the monster not for the suffering itself, but for *failing* to defeat us. For leaving us standing, transformed, capable of throwing roses into that same darkness.

Have you ever looked back at something that nearly broke you and felt, unexpectedly, a strange gratitude for surviving it? #MentalHealth #SchizoaffectiveDisorder #Schizophrenia #BipolarDisorder #BorderlinePersonalityDisorder #BorderlinePersonalityDisorderBPD #Addiction #MoodDisorders

People are so rude. I keep thinking about all the times people have offended me and I have felt disrespected me.

I keep remembering this one guy who knew my uncle and he told me my life could be a lot worse and then one time I used to talk to this girl who was a really bad nasty person who took advantage of me and he told me I am too young to be hanging out with her that she is a fine lady. I also keep remembering there was this one guy who worked as a mental health technician at the mental hospital I was in and he told me to leave him alone and then he saw me got hospitalized again and he asked how I am doing. Another mental health technician named Alex told me what I am going through must be tough and it doesn’t effect his life whatsoever. I can’t count how many times I have had men be rude and disrespectful to me even cops. I don’t see why they can’t be nice. I have been called ugly my whole life. I don’t know why people have to be so rude to me. That’s why I am not gonna tolerate bullsh*t anymore and I am gonna be mean too. There have been plenty of more times people have been rude to me; countless. That is why I choose to stay away from people. I rather be by myself..

I got made fun of in front of the whole classroom in college and nobody didn’t do anything about it even the teacher laughed

This boy in my class made fun of me and said I am not appealing. Honestly the same boy failed the class and might have a criminal record which makes me feel better because what he did to me was wrong. I am diagnosed with Schizophrenia Bipolar. I have had people be so mean and rude to me my whole life especially boys in school and just men in general. I have been called ugly my whole life. I am disabled and I am 29 years old. I almost got attacked twice in school like beat up too for no reason and it was by boys. My nationality is West Indian. That’s why I don’t plan on going back to school only doing online school because why do people have to attack me? I am not a bad person.

I was almost raped by a girl. She forced me to touch her boobs and I am not a lesbian.

The girl who did this, her and her sister took advantage of me and I hope to never see them or have people like that back in my life. They are such low life bums and what they did to me traumatized me. I am going to a therapist and I told them what they did to me. They are nasty. What is even worse is that they are of similar culture of mine and it makes me not want to be around people of my nationality because all that mistreatment I got from them. The girl who forced me to touch her boobs, I know this might sound harsh but I really don’t care what happens to her especially her sister. If they punish I would laugh lol. One of there family members was on the news for something really bad and if I knew all this information about them, I would of never talked to such awful people.
