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 hate the way my hair starts too high above my forehead. I hate how small my mouth is and how hard it is to form a natural smile because my mouth has a natural frown. I hate the way my nose looks too flat. I hate how flat chested I am. I hate how lazy I am, I never feel like doing the things I need to do to improve to get myself out of this rut. I hate the void inside me that I dont understand, it makes me feel so alien from others. I hate the way my body is so unfit and how immature I look. I hate my inconfidence and insecurity and fear that has stopped me from reaching my true potential for so long. I hate how closed up my heart is, and how scared I am to communicate, and how scared I am to express myself.
But most importantly Im learning to love myself as this imperfect being who has all these flaws Ive hated for so long. Im working on them and working on accepting my imperfections because true beauty comes from within. 
Thats awesome my friend and thats the spirit to have. From this point in your life you cant do nothing but go up because you have already experienced the downs.@mochiheart23

Aw man I know exactly how you feel!! :( Ive never liked what I saw in the mirror for sooo long, but I just put up with myself and with all my flaws that Ive hated, and like you said was just like ‘oh well. I accepted myself but not in a good way, just in a way that was like, ‘theres nothing I can do about it Im just awful inside and out. For so long Ive looked at myself and saw nothing pleasant inside or out. But I hope you too can hang on to whatever is good about you that you like, even the smallest things will work. And just keep fighting to love yourself and accept yourself for the way you are, until you truly believe it. And its so hard and it takes so long, especially when the positive affirmations you tell yourself feel like lies. I still feel uncomfortable in my skin, but I believe I can learn to love my flaws because thats just how I was created, and to slowly revive that ‘dead personality by learning how to be myself. And I hope you can too. Btw I think this is the second time Ive seen you around and Id love to get to know you more~ :)
I hate how I can't seem to communicate correctly, how I lie to my friends and fake a smile, how I'll continuously pour myself out and keep giving and giving even after I'm empty because I don't deserve happiness but everyone else does, how I'm a hypocrite and would die to give my friends happiness but wont accept when they try to help me, how I look and can never seem to measure up to my own expectations, I hate it all.
But I'm trying to learn to love myself and maybe over time I can do it. I'm trying. Maybe someday I'll be happy with it.

Wow I know exactly what you mean with the always trying to be ok when youre not, and to be thinking of yourself as someone who doesnt deserve good things, but that literally everyone else does. :/ But I think its wonderful that youre trying to overcome it! I hope you can learn to treat yourself as you would treat your friends. Ive realized that the things I tell myself when Im upset, I wouldnt tell my friends if they were upset. So I hope you can treat yourself as a loved friend, with kindness, compassion, and love. ^^
I hate that I cannot feel the love that others feel and that I feel like a outcast even though I am not. For some reason I just cannot feel happiness that other people feel, its like that part of emotion just doesnt work for me. ☹️
I hate the stretch marks that run down my arms and my back. I hate the hyperpigmentation on my face and legs. I hate my hair texture because it
I honestly think it would be easier to list the things i like about myself, but i thi k thats true for most people.
I worry over just about everything. People sometimes make fun of me for it. Or dismiss me.
I hate that I cant move forward. I hate the resentment and the chip on my shoulder I cant remove. I hate the hopeless feeling and useless feelings. I hate that I cant feel joy. I haye that I only attract the wrong people in my life. I hate this trapped bird.
That I care too much about what people say.
Easier question would be: is there anything you don't hate about yourself? No.
I dislike how unmotivated I am.
