I'm going to cry

So basically I discovered mewing in april or so, as well as facial exercises, and been doing them ever since. Today I decided to take some photos just to be slapped in the face by the fact that absolutely nothing changed. Im still recessed, my face is still flat, still have a giant droopy nose, I'm still ugly. While I thought I was seeing progress other people saw the same ugly face and side profile. Every morning doing those facial exercises, all the researching, all the perfecting the mewing technique, every measuring of the face length, width, thirds, gave me absolutely NOTHING back.

So please yall, if you could tell me what I'm doing wrong. I saw a guy say that he mewed for years, but saw no results, just to discover that his left tongue tip wasn't behaving the same as the right, and when he adjusted that, he saw noticeable results in less than a month. Now my tongue does point to the left when I stick it out, maybe that's the issue? Should I do exercises to make my tongue stronger?

Please, if the only thing you have to say is "oh but you're pretty" "I have it way worse so just enjoy life" "we are all beautiful" "beauty comes from within", then don't bother saying it, please, as I have already heard it.

Physical beauty is important. It determines how people perceive you and treat you, so it can influence your mental health as well.

ALSO TO CLARIFY IM 19 AND NOT A MINOR

Hi yall

I am a christian Torah follower, and I try to keep all the Laws, even though it's difficult. I also have ocd and a stutter that I developed after going through a "trauma" when I was 7 (I put it in quotations bc it was actually the stupidest thing ever but being a 7 yo it seemed big and serious).

Basically my problem is, when I was 13 or so, I started making vows to God or Jesus to avoid stuttering; for example, I would go: "if I stutter in the next sentence then I won't be allowed to wear makeup ever again in my life" and promise it to God, so my brain would pick up on that and I could speak fluently to avoid having to renounce makeup. This continued even after I turned to God.

Ofc, I didn't always succeed in not stuttering, and, when that happened, I would just keep my vow. Now the problem is, this is kinda putting a burden on my life right now, because I can't do or wear lots of things, while I want to do them. Also, when I have to decide what to wear, doubt creeps in because I made so many vows that I don't even remember them all, so I sit there with the decision in front of me, wondering if I can do it or not because I don't remember whether I made a vow about it 4 years ago or not.

My question here is: are these vows legit, or just a compulsion?

Being a Torah follower I know a bit of the Old Testament, and I read that God considers even vows made lightly or in a wave of emotion as legit, thus we have to keep them to not "tell the angel «it was a mistake»", and that we need a court of 3 judges to break them.

What should I do? And, does anyone else deal with this?

I'm also gonna post this in a religious subreddit and see what they tell me.
