    Nah, not required.
    On my old account I changed from having my photo in the profile pic to anything but me because of the nasty comments about my nose, my ears, my hairline etc.

    I had one guy on an acrylic painting group randomly leave a nasty comment about my appearance. There was no reason for his comment, I'd never communicated with him and there was no argument going on, it was completely random. I messaged him to ask what he meant and he said it was a mistake which I doubt.

    It was a comment I left about Greta Van Fleet on a music page.
    I don't know the guy, he's from another city.
    It happens all the time which is why it gets to me. Probably why I'm still single and have never had a girlfriend. I genuinely do not like the way I look and people on Facebook have made it clear there is something not right with my appearance. 
    I deactivated my old account because of this and started with a new account. Same thing again.
    I know what you look like so please trust me when I say you look pefectly normal and fine! Everyone's self-conscious about their looks from time to time or doesn't like a certain aspect of their appearance. You've got to learn to accept and love yourself for who you are. We're all uniquely different - who gets to decide what's beautiful and what isn't?! These lowlife keyboard warriors with their sad little lives just try to feel better about themselves by putting down others. You're not gonna change them. All you can do is learn to ignore them, pity them even.
    Once you accept yourself you won't give a damn about spiteful remarks. As long as you don't (and believe me, it can be a long road), stay out of these situations. Get off of FB and social media in general. Stick to real people. Find new people that you connect with through art and whatever. Stop wasting your time online.

    Well you've got to want to change it!
    Set yourself some rules (small steps at first and then bigger ones):
    1. turn off ALL notifications
    2. no mobile phone for the first 30 minutes of the day - rather start with yoga or whatever
    3. only 15 minutes per social media session (set an alarm clock)
    etc.
    Do something about it and stop finding excuses

    I beg to differ. Bravery is about showing up, and that is what you are doing. It is not about not having doubts or fears; it is about feeling the fear and doing it, anyways. And as far as I can tell, that is what you are doing. Keep posting here. You have a lot of people here who support you.

    I used to think I didn't have the "guts" to end it. I realized over time that what actually takes guts is to keep going. Especially when the end of the tunnel is not in sight (which, in my former and your current situation, is almost always the case). 

    we can all get to the end of the tunnel, but you won't if you don't keep moving through it.

    Ive come to a and e . Ive had heart symptoms  for a couple  days. Waiting 3hrs so far. Had ecg and blood test waiting for dr.
    The courage it took to come even though im in pain was huge. But i really want to ask about my confusion but probably us not relavant to them.
    I fuckin hate my life so much.
