Need to love myself.

[Dolphin80]

I used to hate myself because I suffer with depression anxiety, for many years, since age of 12 and now I’m 38. But I’m learning to accept it rather than beat myself over the fact of what I suffer with. I know it’s not my fault but a chemical imbalance. I take meds, have been taking since 12. Wish I didn’t have to take. But it’s ok, I have to tell myself this and love myself for who I am rather than beat myself up for something I cannot control.

I know how you feel. I used to think somehow I should be able to cope with whatever comes my way. When it all got too much I blamed myself for not being good enough, strong enough, clever enough. I too have learned to think in a different way which includes being kind to myself and accepting I am enough. Hard to do sometimes but then I try and remember I am still here, fighting on and taking the good and the bad as it comes . Best wishes to you X

I don’t know if I can get to the point where I love myself, but with a lot of effort I now like myself.
