It‘s my very first time sending postcards so I want to be sure I’m doing it right! I’m trying to send myself postcards from Japan to Canada, I was wondering if these are the correct formats? Some of the postcards I’ve gotten are vertical so I‘m unsure of how to format them properly.

From what I’ve read, I need a 100 yen stamp that I can get at the convenience stores and from there I can just put it in the international slot of a post box.

I’d appreciate any tips!

SN:sorry for the crazy handwriting, I swear it won‘t look that crazy on the actual card

I used to have really bad BDD in high school, even though it was a year after covid I would still wear a mask because I genuinely thought it would ruin peoples day to see my face. Eventually I got over that and realized that was an extreme mentality. It’s been years since then and I’ve decided to start really working on trying to change the things I can rather than dwell on what I can’t.

Yesterday I weighed myself, I‘ve started exercising so I was happy to see I’ve lost a bit of weight. I also cleaned up my appearance a bit, I did my eyebrows and wore makeup that day. I know I‘m not the prettiest but I felt good about myself that day. I was at the park with my cousin and these kids came up to us. One of them was hitting on her. They were asking if we were related or if we were twins or something and one of them said “how can they be twins when this one looks better (pointing to her)” I kind of just shut down in that moment because I felt so pathetic being beside her. She really is pretty and I was wearing a full face of makeup, even with all this effort I couldn’t compare to what she was born with.

I think I’m in some sort of episode right now because I can’t help but dwell on this moment and just remember every other time someone has made a comment like this. I don’t know how to calm down-I feel like I’m in high school again. Would therapy help?
