I've had issues with self-esteem for a long, long time. For years, I have hated myself and actively rejected the idea of feeling good about myself, which I think has played a role in my depression. I believed I was right to feel the way I did and thought that thinking otherwise would be "wrong" and would allow me to become even worse. If I had any evidence of me not being worthless trash, I would twist it to make it seem less valid and interpreted things in ways that validated my beliefs about myself.
But now I'm realising that there's nothing to gain from obsessive self-hate. I need to stop being a bully to myself. While I have a long way to go in dealing with my mental health issues and developing self-esteem, I think I'm finally ready to work towards accepting myself.

You need to re-engineer your mind. Understand that,the mind is a powerful weapon and you have control over it. What if you discipline yourself to stay positive always?.Your life is precious than any wealth you could ever think of so don't cheapen yourself.
Never hate yourself because you are unique in many ways.No one would ever look exactly the same as you.Consider your fingerprints and your whole being,it's unique...Cherish that and stay close to people who will bring out all the goodness in you.Avoid negative people and their drama. Finally no one is perfect,we all have some flaws,we hide and forget about it.You must do the same thing and focus on the best part of you. |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
