MissVegas Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 I was with my boyfriend for four and a half years. I was always told i was extremely attractive *more attractive then my ex* and was always getting compliments and chased by guys while in the relationship. Since breaking up on NYE i've become a workaholic and work pretty much daily, began working out daily and eating really healthy. Problem is i feel like my breakup with my ex has made me ugly.. My family always remarks how pale, tired and "unhealthy" I look. I've had bad chin acne since the breakup and I feel like I'm not the gorgeous girl I used to be. It makes me not want to go out and I feel like i'm becoming a recluse. Anyone else experience anything like this??? Link to post Share on other sites
Cee Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 It sounds like you are exhausted and have become drawn with fatigue. Daily exercise coupled with workaholism is a recipe for burn out. Also, stress causes skin flare ups. At least it does with me. Try drinking a lot of water and getting more sleep. Take a couple days off from work. And stop working out every day. I mean that - your body needs rest to repair and build healthy tissue. Seriously, that's a good beauty regimen. Once I was stressed out and went on vacation. I got rest and gained 5 pounds. Upon my return, people said I looked much better. The quest for thin can make people do unhealthy things. Just because exercise is healthy means overexercise will make you healthier. It won't. It'll get you hurt and you'll end up burning muscle, which isn't attractive at all. Link to post Share on other sites
xpaperxcutx Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Stress can cause you to break out. I suggest you go to your dermatologist and ask for a prescription cream for your acne. I can tell you when I'm over stressed, I get breakout on my forehead. Not pretty. Link to post Share on other sites

Mrlonelyone Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 It can also be a matter of self perception. Being told you are beautiful makes you feel beautiful. Link to post Share on other sites
collegeguy_24 Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 (edited) In the physical sense, since my ex left me, I lost weight and went down a notch in my belt because of it. Its not a good thing, as when her and I were together I was already underweight, so now its worse. Its only recently that I've tried to gain weight back by eating a lot, but because its recent it hasn't taken yet. Emotionally and mentally, I've become a darker person, more guarded, and even my brother says I seen more cruel and uncaring since the break up.

Star Gazer Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 It's WINTER and you're working hard. Of course you're not going to have the youthful glow of a relaxed sunkissed goddess!! Be kind to yourself, give yourself a break...and a facial. Link to post Share on other sites
