When you’re taking pictures of yourself, don’t use a mirror, it’ll double the dirt and distort you. Just put your phone on a little tripod (very cheap) at waist level roughly 6 feet away, and use the self-timer. Try not to go any lower, that’s how you look like a giant with a chin. Too high above you, and you can look like you have a massive had, and a small body.
Face the light source, not away from it, and diffuse lighting is generally better.
There’s loads of posing guides out their, generally just try to get your whole body standing up. Maybe hit THE POSE.
Oops, forgot to hit post when I first finished, no matter.

I meant to add this aspect as well, but I’m inexperienced and didn’t know how much that would come off as scaremongering. You could say similar about my antidepressant as well, for example, but I would never steer people away from those. I think the mindset going in is important, that it may not be a solution in itself but can be a tool to make dealing with your problems a little bit easier / more bearable.
For sure that should be mentioned, but some medications are worse than others for that. It is good to ask your doctor and also read medication reviews. There are sites for that.
