Very true; when I went through depression, my overall appearance reflected my inner self. I gained weight, stopped putting effort into makeup and hair, and just wore very basic pieces that were the most comfy things I could find. Fast forward to now: my depression is managed, I feel better, and thus, I look better because I put more effort in.
this is certainly true for me! whenever I feel bad about myself or the way I look, putting on an outfit that flatters my body and makes me feel good about how I look always brightens my mood and makes me feel more confident and willing to deal with issues I wouldn't normally have the energy or care to deal with.
It sounds super stupid, but I always put up more effort on hair, makeup and style, if I feel bad. It is like a shield for myself from the outer world. And it has proven to make me feel better. At least I'm more confident. Maybe because people can't see the inner struggles. And even if it doesn't help, dressing up has never caused any damage, so why not try it! If I'm all dressed up, I feel like I'm ready to tackle the world. Maybe it's because you're going thru this rite of preparation, that kinda prepares your mind at the same time. Loved the video. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Yes this is true. I make sure of pampering myself with good outfits and makeup when things are down in my personal or professional life. It actually works and helps in uplifting my mood and makes me feel stronger.
This is definitely true for me ! whenever I dress up, I feel so much better . I feel more confident and more happy. I think that taking care of how you look is a sign of self love. I really enjoy your videos :)
I totally agree. I know my husband doesn't get it but I've actually wanted to stay home 'cos I wasn't feeling my outfit and I feel like cr*p if I don't feel good in what I'm wearing.
I use dress to divide up diffrent areas in My life with My clothes ... so NO more using My being efficient t to try to sleep in or not getting out of my sleep shirt because I have a problem asking for help in order to be able to do it ... because it makes me associate sleeping with bad or stressful event during the day and as a disabled person that’s the last thing I need on top of the rest ... its also Very important to have separate fun and Work clothes at least for me because ive ended up feeling like im working When I should be relaxing or partying because with the clothes has followed the mindset - you need something to say im off Work or ive Done with admin or whatever else and to signal to the subconcious me time NOW
Hello, Lauren! I am currently conducting a research on a fashion-related topic. Could you share some resources you mention here about fashion psychology? Thank you! The video is great, very inspiring!
Yes, this is very true Lauren. I work as a psychiatric nurse and many of the depressed patients tend to dress more "comfortable" rather than stylish for sure!...."go f#$&ing ham in the comments!!" 😂😂😂. I swear you are my best cyberfriend!
I Love Tony Robbins And I Love You But... WHY DID YOU SAY STYLE WAS THE CURE FOR DEPRESSION?!?... Don't Kill Me!🤣🤣🤣 I Am Totally Kidding! You're Awesome! Keep Droppin' Those Style Bombs, Lady!🤗👍🏽😎
