I hate to say it but I am sometimes mildly depressed because of my height. Especially when I see girls taller than me. However I can still function normally and hold down a job so it isnt so bad. But has anyone experienced this mild depression because of their height?

Actual depression; I have trouble enjoying things like movies and car rides if I see too many people taller than me. I just learnt to keep my head down and ignore most of the time. How tall are you? Im sure youre probably taller than me.

Quote from: bander72 on April 16, 2017, 02:08:44 PMI get a little bit depressed for various reasons. I think about not doing all I could when I was young to get taller if I could of gotten taller than I am. I had tried for years to find ways to get taller but I was already 15 when I started when my growth was pretty much.done. I also think about not finding out about the surgery when I was younger and not until I was 23 I could of had the funds already not have felt so bad that there was no hope to get taller. When I first really paid attention to my height it was the worst feeling because I felt less of a man and doomed to be unhappy. This was when I was 15 mind you. The lifts did make most of my feelings go away since I was lucky to be a litle bit below avarage but the height neurosis never went away even after not thinking about seriously for years since I had given up on getting anywhere before finding the forum.



Wow that must have been awful for you, even for someone who is almost average height. At least you have options now. Has anyone experienced depression over their height?

Thanks!  :)that really meant a lot to me. As someone with unsupportive parents I am also struggling to find ways to scrimp together money and hide my surgery.

Yeah. I kind of am willing to accept the risk of ache and pains in return for a taller height.
