When you're taking pictures of yourself, don't use a mirror, it'll double the dirt and distort you. Just put your phone on a little tripod (very cheap) at waist level roughly 6 feet away, and use the self-timer. Try not to go any lower, that's how you look like a giant with a chin. Too high above you, and you can look like you have a massive had, and a small body.
Face the light source, not away from it, and diffuse lighting is generally better.
There's loads of posing guides out their, generally just try to get your whole body standing up. Maybe hit THE POSE.
Oops, forgot to hit post when I first finished, no matter.

As a reminder, please do not discuss current struggle sessions in the mega. We want this to be a little oasis for all of us and the best way to do that is not to feed into existing conflict on the site.
Also, be sure to properly give content warnings and put sensitive subjects behind proper spoiler tags. It's for the mental health of not just your comrades, but yourself as well.
Here is a screenshot of where to find the spoiler button.

... should I try weed? I'd like something that helps with depression.spoiler
I meant to add this aspect as well, but I'm inexperienced and didn't know how much that would come off as scaremongering. You could say similar about my antidepressant as well, for example, but I would never steer people away from those. I think the mindset going in is important, that it may not be a solution in itself but can be a tool to make dealing with your problems a little bit easier / more bearable.For sure that should be mentioned, but some medications are worse than others for that. It is good to ask your doctor and also read medication reviews. There are sites for that.

rom my experience it doesn't help at all long term. much like booze you can get relief using it for a moment but, just like alcohol sometimes it doesn't help at all or makes it worse instead.
negatives outta the way it's an easy high with easy withdrawal, so if you're in need of a crutch for a bit you could do a lot worse.
I've done lots of drugs and this is just my experience as an afficionado. ymmv

I have only used it once, so I can't really speak to that. I know there are people who use it for depression and pain management, though. My siblings are all potheads ๐ฌ I will probably keep using it every once in a while.It was nice to know that I am not unhappy and anxious in my essence. The brief time I was mildly high made me want to do more to make myself joyful through the day. Sorry for kind of dancing around your question. Hopefully someone with more experience can chime in too
No, it's not a problem
It doesn't take much for me to just try. I live in a country with lax weed regulations.
Best of luck! I hope it is helpful
