nervousness about taking pictures

nervousness about taking pictures 1




  • Ever since I was about 13, I was bullied quite often because of my appearance. I'm darker skinned, developed early (have worn a bra since 2nd grade), socially awkward, and terrible with fashion and make-up. Not much has changed, I am still socially awkward, riddled with anxiety and still very much below the bar in the appearance department - I'm thin, and have nice, straight teeth; but I struggle with acne, though that has lessened over the years at least. Im filled with anxiety about my upcoming big day and looking nice for pictures. I made the decision to elope partially to cut costs and for safety precautions, but the other reason was bc I didn't want to be seen in person by our (fh and I) loved ones. I've overheard some pretty hurtful comments from in-laws, and occasionally from my family about my appearance (darker skin, clothing selection).
  • How are you anxiety brides handling it with your upcoming day and nervousness about taking pictures?

    I have adult acne which has lessened after taking Accutane. I decided on investing in my skin & myself before the wedding. I started microneedling and it improved the look of my skin. I will probably continue to do maintenance with microneedling to reap all the benefits. But I still have bumps in my skin and on my chin. Overall I would say I clean up nicely when I put effort. But my bottom teeth are also crooked. My style of clothing may not suite everyone but its me. I wear a lot of urban wear, lots of my clothing is mens. Lots of sweats and sneakers too.

    First of all.... YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL. And while you might not be a Kardashian, dont ever think you’re not a beautiful person. Own who you are and embrace your appearance! The most beautiful people aren’t the ones with the best skin or the best figure. They are the people that love themselves and show their confidence off! I have good teeth, I don’t have weight issues, I have great skin, fake boobs and I love make up.... I’m still nervous as all heck about how my photos and videos are going to look because I typically never like any of my photos and I always critique them. You aren’t alone with the nerves but you have to look in the mirror and tell yourself that you’re gonna kill it on your wedding day and once you start to believe it is when you’ll feel so ready to take those photos! WE ARE OUR OWN BIGGEST CRITICS!

    I have a lot of social anxiety (and anxiety in general) and body image problems too. honestly, delta 8 thc (regular delta 9 tho If you’re in a legal state). You can get vapeable cartridges which work the fastest so they’re best for anxiety attack relief. There’s also edibles which take about an hour or more to kick in. Or talk to your doctor about an anxiety medication. There’s non-benzo options, if you can’t take benzos like Xanax.

    I agree with DJ -- you are beautiful, regardless of what others have said. Recite and repeat positive affirmations about yourself -- I am beautiful. I am enough. I am loved. I am made in God's image (if you're religious). Don't let people's mean words live rent free in your head. Instead of focusing on what's been said, take this opportunity to change the narrative.
