When we were a couple she was very pretty (BTW not the reason that I dated her).Recently she uploaded some photos of herself (Facebook) that made her look awful. this made me feel sad :(. The women I know (not vain) dont like to have bad photos of themselves displayed so I was a bit shocked when I saw these piccies. Question is, is thi some kind of "cry for help?"..my female friends think so. What do the people out there think? Reply to this Question

 It is entirely possible that she is feeling low. By publishing unflattering pictures of herself it just reflects her low mood and lack of interest in appearance issues. The other explanation is that her life is so full of more meaningful pursuits (like her family) that she doesn't care about what photo's are published on facebook or other websites. Just because she moans about her partner and kids, it doesn't mean she is not contented with her life. We all do that from time to time! If you are that concerned, why don't you ask her about the photo?

Well I think she's looking for some type of an escape. A way to try and get attention for herself so that people will notice her and she wont look stressed out, how you say she describes her life. I think she shouldn't do it, but it is in fact a cry for help, and she isn't reaching out the right way. Maybe you should talk to her. Maybe she's not getting something she wants.But either way, that certainly is not the way to get what ever it is that she feels is missing. Sincerely,
Kimberly.
