When I look in the mirror I see things that I often don't want to, I mean I begin to see the struggles and the pain in my eyes. I am a strong woman, the truth is I have to be stong for the sake of my children, but at times when I look in the mirror I find that, I can't hide from the pain.....What do you dee when you look in the mirror?

Every morning i brush my teeth facing a mirror in front of me. I see myself in the mirror while i brush my teeth, i will think of have i change in my personality. Did i change for better or bad. If I change for bad, I will tell myself to do something good today and change for a better. In my heart, i will tell myself, today will be a better day. Yup, sometime i really had some personal problem but i will still tell myself i will overcome it bit by bit. It becomes a motivation. I remember there was once i was very sad and depress due to some thing that happen to me, i didn't even wanna see myself in the mirror. Because the more i see myself the more depress i am. I should say that's was very bad. My mind was filled with many many negative thoughts. However, i took sometime to recover and learn something from this incident;You are who you are. You have the power to control your own mind and emotion. You can choose to think positively or negatively about an issue. Brain is a very powerful tool. Of course it is easy say than done. It just takes time. =)

I see a pretty nice lady, who is a good mom, a good wife, and good friend. I like myself, so what I see is good.

At times I also feel "good" about myself, but it all depends on what is going on in my life in that moment. Thank you for droping in with your response, I greatly appreciate it.

When I look in the mirror, I freak out. That's not me. What happen to me? I don't look like that do I? I look like a chimp. AHHHHHH. What happen to my hand? It's all hairy. My face is so hairy too. My nose is flat. j/k. I don't look in the mirror that much. But when I do, I saw a confuse asian girl staring back at me. The trouble eyes staring back at me, just staring at me. It's freaky. I don't want to look in the mirror anymore. I am afraid I won't like what I see and I can't imagine what the time has done to me.

Today when I look in the mirror I saw an unattractive woman. I know that deep down inside I'm not unattractive, but that is how I feel today.

Why do you feel that way? I think that it is other issues that have goten you feeling down, not so much your beauty.....Each one of us has a certain beauty within ourselves and thats all that matters. I see from your pic and read from your post that you are a woman who exhibits beauty from within! I hope that you can see that for yourself and feel better! I wish you happiness & thank you for sharing your thoughts with me.

i see someone i dont really reconize anymore. I have gained weight and when i look in the mirror i see a different person then i remeber seeing before. And all the dissapointment that comes with being overweight and feeling as if you have no control over it or your life.

I have an extremely low self-esteem, so I really don't like looking in the mirror at all. I don't like to see what I look like or who I am. There's so much in my past that I regret, that I'm ashamed of and things in my current life that I'm having a very difficult time dealing with. I write a lot of it out, but I rarely talk about it to the people in my real life . . . my burdens are my own, not theirs to take on. So, I guess that's what I see.

When I look in the mirror I see very tired eyes, with dark circles underneath them, overweight and just plain ole plumpy. I'm working on it though, slowly but surely and hopefully one day I can look in the mirror and say I LOOK GREAT TODAY! :)
