Ugly, Fat, Depressed, Hate My Job, Wear Glasses, Dry And Itchy Skin, Blind In One Eye. Will Things Get Worse ?
I m ugly, fat, depressed, hate my job, I ve let myself go over the years...such as not showering or bathing (although I do wash up with soap and water), I wear ugly glasses, my skin is very dry and itchy, one of my teeth are broken, I m blind in one eye, and a large toenail that needs to be cut off, but afraid to visit the podiatrist. Besides all that, no man wants me, but I do have at least one guy who s been my friend for a long time. He says he loves me, but still living with another gal. Wow, I just wonder how much worse my life can get...besides dying?

Hello and welcome to Healthcare Magic. Thanks for your query.
I understand that you are going through a difficult time in your life. You seem to having a lot of negative and self-defeating thoughts and ideas of worthlessness, and these could be indicative of a depression.
Though you may be having a lot of adversities in life, it is still important to stay positive and not give up. I would suggest that you talk to a professional - a counsellor or a psychiatrist, so that you will be able to get help and support for your depressive thoughts. With appropriate help and motivated efforts from your side, you will be able to come out of this phase very soon.
Wish you all the best.
Regards,
Dr. Jonas Sundarakumar
