I know that anybody that treats animals are not good people. One horrible thing for animals is they cannot speak up for themselves when they are not feeling good

I haven’t visited this site in a long time. I’m not much of a computer person that’s why I’ve been away.

I feel self hatred and have tried to kill myself and am a survivor of child molestation. I have a hard time leaving the house so I don’t have many friends. I have had an eating disorder and am dealing with body dysmorphia, low self esteem and don’t feel good enough.

I’m dealing with anxiety, panic disorder and depression. Want to just give up. Don’t want to live like this.

Can anyone tell me how they deal with things?

hugs, I understand these feelings too, I’m trying my best to have more love towards myself, I’ve been waiting on therapy for self harm and BPD for years to start. I have so much love to give to everyone else, it’s just hard to give or feel the same love back to myself.

People who make judgemental or cruel remarks are the ones who should be slapped upside the head! Lol....But seriously, their unkindness says more about them than it does about you. Usually these are insecure individuals who only feel better when they put someone down.

I was so disturbed by how you feel. you are loved and you have to get rid of toxic people in your life, even if they are family. I wonder and hope you believe in God. That has helped me the very most. i am old and alone but never feel lonely anymore because God is always with me. I often call this number for support nycwell 8886929355 they are always open.

I feel so very relieved except for your ulcer. You are a part of God. Your Soul is connected. I am spiritual and but not ritually religious. I talk to God so much. If you start getting down on yourself just stop it and keep on remembering that God loves you and you are not alone and you HAVE TO KEEP AWAY FROM TOXIC PEOPLE but keep on making sure to love yourself.

fondly,

bobby

we need to get you around people who speak well of you, who life you up and remind you of your worth. We need to feed you encouragement, so you will change that inner voice you have and it will tell you of the goodness you have and how you are wonderful and lovable.

Man… this hit so hard when I read this that I felt led to say you are so valuable, loved, and not how your mind or others are trying to define you or make you feel.

If you do not know the Lord, please please please seek to find out how much He loves you and how valuable and cherished you truly are to Him. If I can help, please let me know.

I am praying for you… have better days. 💕🌻

sounds to me like you have triggers and terrible mind reading skills. “Whenever someone laughs, judges, or criticizes me”. How often do you feel judgemental about someone else? In fact how much time do you spend considering anyone else at all? People are almost by nature self involved. You have to take care of yourself first so you think about yourself. The only one criticizing you is most likely you. (Families are an exception but you don’t have to listen to them anymore and perhaps that is your trigger )

I’m all about helper strategies

A trick when you feel that self criticism coming on is to start a sentence with “oh well” as in “oh well, I put my foot in my mouth again. It probably wasn’t as bad as I remember and I’m learning “. “oh well” diffuses that thought. If that fails at first…which it will because that’s how we learn. Snap a rubber band on your wrist and breathe for a count of 4. Hold it. Let it go for a count of 4. Physically it stimulates your somatic nervous system with in turn releases dopamine

Of course those aren’t the only strategies but they are proven tools to start with

you are turning your anger towards yourself, see how you in fact hate them and not you? Get in touch with your anger, and why you feel like you can't be angry at them instead? Feeling angry is not bad, feeling angry means someone crossed your boundaries or hurt you, you should get your feelings validated, and you should be supported in your hurt. Me, on this side acknowledge your pain, and let me say that they are wrong, and you have every right to feel violated emotionally and psychologically. They should be punished, and appologize to you.

Twigger Warning,(suicide,self harm, abuse)

I get you. I lived with abuse/harrassment for over a decade. The depression and anxiety too. It led me too self harm too. I used to punch myself in the head and pull my hair. It wasnt really self hatred for me. It was a combination of anger towards my harrassers and frustration that I couldnt stop it somehow. Maybe i was trying to punish myself too. Then I tried to kill myself but I couldnt make myself cut deep enough cause I didnt want to die, I just wanted the harrassment, the people following me, the laughter to stop. I wanted the pain I had caused myself to stop too. I watched my husband commit suicide and I just couldnt do it too. But I discovered the pain of cutting distracted me from the mental pain and I can deal with physical pain . Mental pain, not so much. I was a cutter for a few years. Then my son who i had lost my rights to turned 18 and showed up at my door. One of the happiest days of my life. We were sitting next to each other and he saw my arms. He didnt say anything but I saw the pain and sorrow on his face. He lost his father to suicide when he was 2 1/2. I can imagine how much it would hurt seeing those scars on his mothers arms. I never wanted to hurt him so I never cut again. He says he forgave me for my mistakes, but I still havent forgiven myself. We are our own harshest critics and usually most people dont even notice or care when we mess up. But i also know harrassment can be real even though everyone else says its all in your head. I still dont leave my house because I cant handle knowing people are watching me, trying to violating my personal space, invading my privacy. I never know if anyone I interact with has some kind of ulterior motive or not. And it makes me hurt so much. Lately that pain is turning to anger again though and my 4 year suffers. I think I will have to cut again to stop the anger. I would never purposely hurt someone else because I can physically feel others pain. But I can hurt myself. I think I deserve it. We are both wrong though. I desperately need and want counseling, but it aint gonna happen til I have my privacy again. I dont think thats gonna happen unless I move far away but I can barely leave the house so im screwed. So I feel for you. Maybe im just projecting because im terrible at reading people. Either way I wish I knew the solution so I could ease your pain. Just know your not alone and you dont deserve this. No matter your faults, you dont deserve hate, pain or fear. No one does. We all deserve mercy and grace. Find one little way to love yourself and nurture it. And remember I love you and it hurts me to know you hate youself, so try to smother that self loathing for self love. And I will do the same.

I understand that feeling. While I used self harm for different reasons than you, I think i too take others negative thoughts and opinion out on myself. Someone once told me it seems like im punishing myself which I denied, but he was right, I just needed it pointed out because it was subconsciously. I feel I was so horrible that i deserved everyones abuse. My sins were so unforgivable I had to take myself out of life. Idk im not in a good place right now. Im shutting down. I cant even get my thoughts out of my head right now, im sorry

Rubyphoenix profile image
Rubyphoenix in reply to Nothingnoted

Horrible, after that last message, I was smoking in my garage trying to decide if i should write a post, and i heard a super loud bang. I live on a busy road and theres been a lot of accidents but this one sounded like it hit the house. My 5 year old was in the house so I panicked. Thankfully she ran out the back door at the same time I ran out the back garage door. But my heart was still racing. We walked out to make sure everyone was ok and went inside because I was still in panic mode. Looked out a few minutes later and the sight of the ambulance and law enforcement vehicles triggered a flashback. Everything is just too much. In the last year and a half I lost a cousin when her ex shot her, my sons great grandmother died from covid, a friend killed herself the same way my husband did, the day I found out how she died, we had to pull my brother off life support(covid), and a few weeks ago, I found out a cousin killed himsef, again in the same manner as my husband,(I never met him but his father is raising my daughter so it still hits hard) and I found out the cousin who named me passed away as well in the same message. Because of my anxiety i couldnt attend any of their fumerals. And the 16th marks the 20 year anniversary of my husband passing. Ive been trying to keep it together but when I add in the unrelenting abuse and my daughter acting out because her mom is losing it and you get me coming undone over an accident where no one was seriously. Both cars were totaled but the drivers both walked away. Im just so tired of pain and fear. Thats all I seem to feel anymore. So so tired. Oh and now my daughters mad at me because the ice cream truck came by and I told her I just couldnt go outside right now. I think I need to go back to bed
