I don't love myself

[Raquelv]

I'm a 21 year old student and I don't know how to love myself. I'm find myself constantly crying and feeling lost. I want to drop out of school because I don't know who I am and it's depressing.

This is. Hard time in life, I struggles for many years with trying to figure out who I was and what I wanted to do with my life. The thing is you can’t expect to know all the answers now. Give yourself some credit for getting this far, life is hard and I think you are putting too much pressure on yourself. Why don’t you try and talk to a doc and let them know what you are feeling I’m sure they can point you in the right direction. Also if you have someone to talk to that you trust I would do that as well. Also talk to your school about how your feeling maybe the counselor can help and also help you figure out what to do with school since I’m sure it’s hard to go and do the work. Good luck, you can do this.

This is a hard time for people your age. I'm 24, but I can remember times I felt the same way. You sound pretty stressed to me and that will exacerbate all your symptoms hence the anxiety and depression. Be around people that love and care about you , try some new things and keep busy and occupied. However Remember it's okay to relax too and destress. Try taking nice warm baths with maybe candles and soothing music. You will be fine and you will get through this . You have everyone on here as well to love and support you . ❤️😄

I understand how you feel. Your worth is defined by YOU and YOU only. Don't let ANYONE take that from you. And you are in your 20s everyone feels lost in their 20s. it's not just you! keep going! life is so short. the most successful people are not rich or famous, they are the ones who look for the silver lining while facing adversity. Be that person. make that change. I certainly am not that person, but I am positive and hopeful that I will be one day and I hope you will too.

Please do not give up on yourself. For years in my ignorance I hated myself. Finally when I was in group therapy in my early 40's the therapist worked on us about loving ourselves. It took a while, but i learnt, I am a good, and special woman and Am lovable first by my own self. If you have counseling available to you, or a church where you feel safe, discuss this. Find out YOU ARE lovable. We love you, so can you. Sending Love, Peace and Big Hugs. Sprinkle 1
