I really hate myself
. The way I look and feel.I'm never good enough. I'm a perfectionist and try so hard in everything I do.
Nothing ever is easy in anything I do. Mental health is not good at present.very stressed and depressed.Self harm by pulling my hair out and eyelashes..until bald spots appear. Taken meds for 20 years.

You poor thing - is there anything kind you can do for yourself right now to start to bring a bit of self love back? Cup of tea? Hand massage with nice cream?

You are valuable. Don't listen to your negative thoughts.

When I've been in that place I've never got out of it by looking inwards for the answer. You can't find self worth by looking inside, I don't think, not when you're running on empty like that. I've only ever found it by doing stuff. Caring for others, helping out or improving something... Looking outwards and doing positive actions are the only places I've ever found peace with myself.

I'm sorry to hear you're feeling this way, it's awful and I wouldn't wish it on anyone. You're not alone.

It's exhausting putting on a mask every day at work when really your so exhausted from your own self punishing negative thoughts

@Leomii81

I'm sorry your feeling so low and harming yourself.

This makes me so sad 😞

Do your meds need adjusting or could you try some form of meditation?

I use a hypno therapy app I've recently downloaded as the mental load of life is catching up with me abit

Maybe you could try (if you haven't already) something similar?

You are important op Flowers
