So I have a little problem and I'm obsessed with my appearance. My appearance decides every day in which mood I will be… Today, for example, I felt rather ugly and when I went to the university in the morning and saw my reflection on the screen of my laptop during the lecture, I had the urge to go, What I did then… That means I was for 10 minutes today. In the university. But that's always the case with me, when I feel ugly in one day, I just can't leave my house or have to go straight home, when I see my reflection somewhere.
But then there's the complete opposite, when I have a day where I think I look good. I feel so self-confident and comfortable in my skin. But with me, these two extremes alternate daily. It's not that maybe I have a bad day once a week. But one day I feel ugly, the next I find myself pretty, the next ugly again, and so on…
But somehow I do not dare to go to therapy because of something like that, because somehow I think about therapy people with "right" problems go. What should I do? Do you have any tips on how to solve this yourself?
If it bothers you then go to therapy. Or first in the consultation of a therapist. At least in Lower Saxony have something to offer. It does not matter if it is uniform nationwide.
Personally, I would find a therapy useful. Not because it's a particularly bad or blatant problem, but because I think there are other reasons worthy of therapy for that, do you understand what I mean? You could find out why that is.
Talking about it helps a lot, and therapists also understand that, do not worry about it. Nobody will think, there are people with real problems or anything else…
You have real problems and you should do psychotherapy for that.
