Struggling with self-image and keeping my faith

I’ve felt unattractive pretty much my whole life, and it’s only gotten heavier over the years. The thought that I might never be okay with how I look is eating me up inside. It’s gotten so bad that I’m sick and can’t even do my daily things right. I’m often too down and tearful to practice my deen properly, and I’ve lost my appetite too. I know Allah created me with wisdom, but the sadness just won’t lift.

Ugh, this is so real. I had days where I cried so much I missed fajr. Just try to eat something tiny, like a date, and make dua even if tears fall. Allah sees your struggle. You’re beautiful cuz your soul is struggling for Him.
