For people who wish to post a photo of themselves. Only if you are comfortable in doing so. It is sometimes nice to be able to picture the face behind the posts. This act can be an accomplishment on it's own. Personally, it doesn't bother me very much. I am who I am. :)

Link RemovedPosting pics is a good exercise for me. Brings me outta my shell a tad. :) Used to, I was much more reluctant. But, over the years, I have evolved some in the area of personal acceptance.

Personally I most often avoid it... but a few exceptions are made. I did though learn a lot when I challenged myself to draw my own portrait a while back. The dysmorphia was readily apparent. My husband was quite upset about it so I didn't put it up. I still have it though and may challenge myself to do it again sometime. (The scars and broken nose from my traumas).

I understand. I have always suffered from self esteem issues, and am my own worst critic as well. Maybe one out a hundred pictures of me I may halfway like.

Thank you, Oasis. And I completely understand. Truthfully, I get a little nervous about posting pictures, particularly on a site like this that deals with mental illness, because of public stigma. It usually happens after the fact, when I have time to think about my actions for an hour or two. I can backslide and second guess myself sometimes. But, I openly admit that I am diagnosed ptsd and bipolar II. As I mentioned, I am who I am. People can either accept me, or not. Some haven't, in the past. But then again, some have. I just do the best I can with the hand of cards I have been dealt in life. Only God shall judge me.

I'm pretty up front about my diagnosis as well.

 

[oasis2003]

As I said very brave. I am only just admitting to myself and not denying that I have ptsd and depression so slowly working towards this goal . I am who I am too after all trauma has made me. I am a private person and yes fear peoples judgements.
