I'm new here

I'm new here by the way. I have been struggles with things. First, I have learning disabilities so I hate myself for it. I think I feel depression because I am always in my room either on the computer, tv or phone. I will be in my room all day long and everyday. I will only go out if I need to. I may have anxiety too. I have bad social anxiety. I have been trying to find a therapist. If I tell my parents about this they will probably said you don't need help or you don't need to talk to someone. Thank you who take your time and read this.

Hi nice to meet you. Why do you hate yourself coz of your learning disabilities? It's not your fault is it.

I note from your bio that you are in your 20's so you don't have to tell your parents if you don't want to. You are an adult who can make your own decisions. Have you sought out any help yet from a doctor and/or a therapist? If not this would seem to be the logical step. x

Hi Thank you for taking out of your one and replying to me. Yes, I hate myself for having learning disabilities because I hate learning different ways. I don’t go to my doctor. I have been looking for a therapist but I am looking for telephone therapy but it’s has been hard. Again thank you so much for replying to me.

There is no point hating yourself as you can't change it. Try and accept it by saying you are special. You don't have to justify yourself to anyone - you are you and if others don't get it then they aren't worth bothering about are they? It is part of what makes you you and that's ok. x
