Today, I turned 37. My acne turned 24, my eating disorder 22, my chronic digestive issues 35 and my insomnia 16. My boobs, on the other hand, look like they just turned 60. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I realized that at 20 years old I already have noticeable wrinkles around my eyes. But to balance it out, my chronic acne keeps me looking youthful. FML
Today, I’m at that glorious age where I have to pull apart my wrinkles to get at the zits hiding inside. FML
Today, I realized my breasts look like sweat socks and my ass is sagging so much, it slaps the back of my legs. My neck has grown three chins, and I have put on 40 lbs. Yes, the golden years are here at last, and they can certainly kiss my ass. Happy 50th to me. FML
Today, I'm a 40+, aging, ugly woman with bad skin, and gaining weight. In the middle of the night, the cat landed on my face, clawing it so badly that it left actual scars. Just purrrfect. FML
Today, my mom said my boobs are finally getting bigger and that I've finally hit puberty. I'll be celebrating my 31st birthday next week. FML
Today, after going through a major weight loss and change of lifestyle to better my confidence and health, I now have saggy thighs, arms and boobs, a deflated ass, two inches of hanging stomach, and have realized just how unsymmetrical my face is. Oh, and my physical health has never been worse. FML
Today, I turned 30. I still can't grow any facial hair. FML
Today, I've got so many pimples in my face, I could actually fill a bucket with my own pus. I'm 25. FML
Today, I noticed that my acne has gotten so bad, I can see it out of my peripheral vision. FML
Today, my acne was so bad I got carded for a pack of lighters. I'm 30. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

It’s ok really. The biggest issue I would say is to please get help for the eating disorder. There are support groups out there, and professionals that can help you. It’s unhealthy and can literally kill you. Acne - I’m certain you’ve tried every treatment there is, but there are always other methods. Changing your diet (could also be a way to manage the eating disorder), different remedies for the skin that aren’t just the chemicals found in the over the counter stuff. You could try a skin care specialist who specializes in alternative treatments. Your GI issues - it’s unfortunate, but something many people have to deal with. It’s manageable, between paying attention to what foods to avoid, and possibly medication. And finally, your boobs - bras that give you good support help a lot, and you can try skin tightening creams. And I’m sorry this is probably annoying af for you - I’m sure you’ve tried everything having gone through all this for so long. But I guess my point is there’s always hope, and you can fight this crummy stuff with action, acceptance, and positivity :) Like other people have mentioned (albeit jokingly), you are undoubtedly still a beautiful person - every diamond has its flaws - you will find someone who loves you exactly as you are (if you haven’t already), and please try not to let it get you down as you methodically seek out and work on new solutions. You can do it, and you can feel better, and you can be happy 😃❤️

I don't think 69 will ever become a relevant number for you.

Go whole foods plant based and if you’re doing it right should cure all of that minus the boob sag.
