"I can still tell that you used to be pretty"

Can any other indirect statement so quickly rob you of you delusion of being anything but old and ugly?? 
Those words sent me to look in a mirror, really look, at the wreck t hff at had been my face. 
It made my so glad that I always told my mother how beautiful she was. And, of course,  to me she truly was. 
But I dont think anything anyone could say would have made her believe, feel, otherwise. If she ever doubted her Beauty I never knew. 
I'm not so secure (or delisional!)
Very little of my life was spent believing I was pretty in any sense. 
I hoped that if I got Here that I would rest in believing that I had Inner Beauty.  
Maybe it's the prevailing depression, but I have been even more disillusioned about my Inner Beauty.
Maybe a starry eyed Faith in God and a belief that there is Good in Everyone and the peace from those beliefs once gave me Inner Beauty.  ???
I just know that ever since I heard those words I have woke up old and ugly every single day. 
Its actually liberating in a way. No more make up or fancy hair cuts. No more "watching my figure". 
But it just feels too much like just waiting to die when i give up on Trying.
Maybe Sad
