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?
90% of forum probably did lol
But hey, i'm shorter than average woman here and trust me i compare myself to the others a lot but it's nothing bad honestly as long as you don't let it control you.
Tbh is it an actual depression(you have problems with enjoying other stuff etc.) or you just feel bad about your 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.
5'5 so not that much lol
Im guessing you live in sweden or a scandinavian country? I am 2 inches taller than the avg female but still 3 inches shorter than the average male in singapore.
Poland actually
I 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.

I had similar situation when my endocrinologist told me that i have hypothyroidism and that's why i probably stopped growing since i was 12 yo.

And it wasant easy with my unsopprted parents. My mom would always say that I was tall and that wearing those lifts made here feel bad to which I would say that I guess she dosent care about how I feel. Now she dosent say anything about my lifts but I know that I have to keep the surgery a secret because she would try to tell close aquaintances about it to embarass me to not do it.
