Mirror
I forgot to mention that I also just finished covering the mirror in my dorm. I took a lot of paper and taped it over, and then wrote some messages on it for me to see instead. I hate the feeling like my reflection is going to make me depressed, so if I just get rid of it, I don't have to think about it. I can just focus on how I feel, and the truth, which is that God loves me, no matter what, whether or not the world, or even I, thinks I am beautiful.

This may really help with your self image. Too many times, people concentrate too much on the mirror, and it's not that something is bad in the mirror. You just look at yourself enough in the mirror and you stop seeing the good. When we look in mirrors, we don't look to find the good, we look to find the bad so we can fix it. Your approach is actually kind of genius!
It really has helped! I haven't looked in a mirror since that day and I feel so much better. I concentrate more on how I feel and try to let people see that in how I move and how I express myself rather than shy away because I think I look bad. It's so nice, I actually like to smile now. ^_^
