Hi.
Im struggling currently.
I dont have a support network socially. I loathe myself... so im rarely of any comfort to myself.
With other issues; anxiety, depression... there's at least a manual so to speak. There's certainly a lot of self-help books and informational videos.
But without long term. In depth psychotherapy - what steps can you take to improve your predicament/ relationship with yourself?

I feel like im a hopeless case. I dont know where to begin. What to try. How i should be behaving.. - and as another post i remember seeing; 'where do i start and this personality disorder ends'
I'm completely lost. I dont have a framework to work with.
What should i be doing?

With anxiety - my bdd + ocd... i know i need erp, exposure and response prevention.. as well as some cognitive insight.
However cbt doesnt seem to work with this avoidant pd.
So in absence of appropriate psychotherapy, what can one do to better themself?
