What do you hate about yourself?
Depression is bizarre in how in alters the way we think. We may know logically that it is our depression making us think this way but knowing that doesn't invalidate it. So write down what exactly you hate about yourself, let it all out. Once you do look back at what you wrote. Hopefully documenting your thought process will make it easier to work through your issues. Plus we will all be here to help.
I am a perfectionist but not perfect. I want to look a certain way and make enough money so my husband doesn't worry about it anymore, but I am just not there yet growth wise. I feel like I am not enough for my family, and I am a horrible friend because I am so introverted I need weekends to recharge.
@ScienceMom86 im very very similar. I was raised as a perfectionist and i have been always told not to be lazy and waste my time, and then been called lazy. I have laziness in my genes or smth i guess but on the other hand im an extremly ambicious person and this collides. The fuel to self hatered caused by this is the knowledge that my parents think im not really worthy of anything.
@ScienceMom86 but recently i began to understand that in reality, time and money dont even exist really. They are just human made concepts and this gives me personally some comfort. Perfect does not really have a clear definition so there is alwas some way to say - You are in fact a perfect human being.
At times, the ability to forgive people easily.
@bubbleCircle3689 I feel the same way... it's like no one cares about the lengths you take to forgive them and move on.
@PrettyBird18
So true
I hate that I don't keep up with my housework.
Everything! I hate the kind of person I am, the way I look and the way I behave. If there was a way, I could be another person, I would.
I hate I dont love or respecto myself enough and thats why everyone treats me badly

I wish I had an answer for you I can only remind you of a poem by Kipling called IFF also a Nuns Prayer
@lazyKatz
I always found it so wise and fitting my lovely love ❤❤❤
"Lord, Thou knowest better than I know myself that I am growing older and will someday be old. Keep me from the fatal habit of thinking I must say something on every subject and on every occasion. Release me from craving to straighten out everybody
I hate that I'm 20, but I seem to be stuck in the same place I was 4 years ago. I can't improve. I know I've accomplished so much in this last year, but I'm still stuck with everything that has to do with relationships (both intimate and friendships). I just want to feel normal.
Everything. I hate everything about me. I hate what I was, what I am and what I will be.
I hate that I've wasted my life, 59 years so far, because of these mental issues, including PTSD, and I hate that no one can stand to be around me and that I'm a needy, whiny nuisance to everyone.
@WharfRat
We all think that of ourselves...please do not be so hard onyourself🤗😊, we all initially think we are a burden to others but we are here to help each other as best we can and I am enjoying your presenxe in games🤗😊😀. Most of the members are not here because we are feeling good and having to deal with a condition makes us think we are a burden to others but here we are thinking the same thing and you are no burden to none of us who know what that means, please do not be hard on yourself🤗😊
The fact that I clam up whenever I even consider defending myself
My lack of motivation and procrastinating.
@helpfulArrow6093 take it day by day, each day just do one thing that I feel like you need to do and it will be hard and annoying at first but eventually it will become a habit and something that is in your every day life
