Still trying to stop hating myself

[TormentedAndTortured]

Why do you hate yourself, you ask ? This is why. Another of my many stupid habits is to come across something I've been looking for, say "Oh, I've been looking for this," and then absently set it down somewhere else as I'm thinking of the next thing, until I realize I want to use that thing I found and end up tearing the place apart and trying unsuccessfully to find something I just absently set down some time before. I can't stand it. This is another reason why I hate myself. And I can't stop doing this. I heard someone say "I just ask God and the Lord provides" so I from now on I will be saying "Please God, please help me to stop doing stupid things" for as long as I can keep it up. Doing this endlessly has made me realize even ten minutes can be a long time. Anyway, let's see if it works. Back to it - Please God, please help me to stop doing stupid things".. repeat

We all do this sort of thing - because we are all human. Its certainly no reason to 'hate' yourself. A much healthier reaction is to call yourself a 'silly cow' or something and laugh at yourself instead.

Instead of trying to be less than human I think a better question to ask yourself would be why you hate yourself for being human and less than perfect.

Many people have said this kind of thing to me over the years - "everybody does that" - which is probably true but I'm convinced I do more stupid things more often than everybody else. If everyone else did them like I did them, they would be more like me - fed up, frustrated and aggravated all the time, constantly on the edge, constantly saying "I just can't take it any mor" like a mantra like I do. Most people just don't seem to have the problems I do. I think that most people, when they have a problem, will say "I should do this differently" or "I better not do that again," or something similar, and they fix their problems for the most part, unlike me who just goes round and round with the same stupid problems that I can't seem to do anything about. I appreciate the effort to help though

You can't fix human. Even god can't.

Are you having any therapy as this should help.
