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.

suicide, self-care

would you consider/are you able to try exercising for your mental health? i am bringing it up because i also have anxiety/add and recently used it to drag myself from the deepest pit i've ever dipped into.

spoiler why i did runnin

I've had add/anxiety since my teens. i have been on a handful of different antidepressants (prozac, wellbutrin, effexor, zoloft, adderol. i did get relief from the meds but i also never felt like myself, never felt ok on em, like crutches for a broken leg they only made it so i could barely function.

i started running (i hate running) and i got better relief (immediate relief) from my mean ol brain than any drug has ever given me.

i hate running but it seems to be the only thing that calms the headmeat. it's actually been pretty incredible, it ain't all roses but even though i hate running i like that i fall asleep better, agonize less, and generally the pits and troughs're higher
