I'm sorry you're going through this. I struggle with depression (specifically bipolar disorder), low self-esteem, and high anxiety as well. I don't know what kind of behaviors you engaged in that made you hate yourself, but it is essential that you learn to forgive them in order to move on. Definitely easier said than done, but in my experience, constantly barraging myself with positive affirmations (Louise Hay audiotapes are amazing!) and going to weekly therapy sessions helps a great deal. I also do little exercises like writing down things I've done that day that I'm proud of (does not necessarily have to be a grand achievement--may just be something simple as "got out of bed and brushed my teeth/showered today"), or writing myself notes that start out with "I see your greatness," followed by evidence that supports it (example: I see your greatness. Yesterday was a really tough day at work, but you did your very best to remain positive and helpful, and your patients and coworkers appreciated you for it. You are making so much progress with your mental health and you are a great asset to your work unit." If you work, I would definitely check with your employer for an employee assistance program as they usually provide a limited amount of low-cost or free therapy sessions, with a low copay after those are used. I hope this helps.

Its okay to make mistakes. None of us are perfect. If we were, we wouldnt need each other. Learning from the mistakes that you dont like, is one way that I have found helps me. I look at what I could have done differently and make a challenge to myself to not do that again. Its hard, but Im willing to do the work, so that I can be the person that I want to be, the best version of me I can be. You have to find what is lovely about you, and remind your self daily, hourly, by each second if necessary of what makes you lovely.......and love that thing about you!!!!
