Help...how do I build my self esteem and body image back up?

I am going to assume that you are male. If that assumption is correct then realistically you have some years ahead of you before you really "bulk" up naturally. Men tend to be fairly skinny (and bony) til their mid to late 20s.

I have an 18 year old son who is 6' and very skinny. And I can tell you that his father was the same at the age. In fact his father did not bulk up and get a more "manly" build until he was about 26 years old.

You could do weight lifting. That could help build muscle. However it won't really cover up all of the boniness.

That will come in time.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
