i’m fat and it’s killing me

Hi, I’m Jasmine, turning 15 soon, and struggling with severe overweight due to hypothyroidism and depression. My lack of motivation led me to skip meds and exercise, worsening things. Being the child of immigrants, I handle everything alone – anxiety, depression, and self-harm.

I have battled weight issues since childhood, even resorting to not eating at 8 and self-harming at 10. Despite trying everything, I feel like a failure, constantly fat-shamed by my family. I yearn to feel pretty, confident and accepted like other girls my age, but instead, I feel like a loser. I wish I could wear cute clothes, take photos, and confidently like them.
