Self love.

How can you self love during depression when you feel worthless?🤦🏽‍♀️

I’d suggest trying to think of self love as self care. Saying to yourself, I need to take a bath to relax my body. I need to eat a comforting and nutritious meal to feed my body, I need to rest and get some sleep tonight so I’m alert and ready for the day tomorrow.

I have had depression slumps where I let go of myself and don’t do things to take care of myself. So I try to make it about self care and end up showing myself “self love“after I do it for a while. Once you get going doing a few little things that make you feel better repeatedly even tiny efforts, you’ll start to see I hope that despite feeling like shit you’re capable of being kind to to yourself and not letting the negative depression thoughts get between you and basic everyday comforts.

Thank you! I’ll try. It’s hard for me to keep my positivity once I get it because I’m stuck in a negative place, physically, Nd mentally. 🤦🏽‍♀️ i need to get outta here Nd maybe I’ll have a clearer head to believe in those words you just said to tell myself 😪
