3 Things I like about me are:Imstrong,Imcompassionate andImalways there for people who need someone.

3 Things I would change about me are:Ima "glass half empty" kind of girl, Sometimes I let the depression get the best of me. And when i do I tend to Isolate myself.

Hi, Im Ruth

I just recently joined in as a listener. Hoping to do my part here :)

As for the 3 things!

3 Things I like about myself I'm not judgemental, I am a creative and I love being kind to people

the 3 Things I don't like are I can be really hard on myself as a person, I still struggle with self esteem issues to this day (even though I am gradually getting better) , I am scared to open up to people about things I'm dealing with most of the time

What I like: 1. I'm very charismatic and a bit of a charmer 2. I'm an exceptional musician, especially at drumming 3. I learn quickly and can write out my thoughts eloquently. What I would like to change: 1. I get angry easily and don't always vent in a positive way 2. I have an addictive personality and can become a slave to bad habits 3. I am a perfectionist and destroy creations that were otherwise beautiful (though flawed). Thank you for that opportunity, its not often that we think of things in that order is it? It was very cathartic to spend an hour or so breaking down the 3 most prevalent of each.

I like my positive attitude which keeps my courage even in odds, the child-like nature I have and my desire to learn always like a student.

I don't like my anxious nature, depressive thoughts and over thinking.

Hello, I'm Jenna.

Id like to say that I came up with three things that I liked about myself fairly quickly, but it did take me some time... The changes came a lot more quickly and I had many more than just three..

anyway, here are three things I like about myself:

1.) I like that I have a passion for animals. I care about animals very deeply. I hope to one day be a vet.

2.) I like that I am skilled at art. I can draw, paint, and sculpt pretty decently, and I've even won art competitions in the past. I am very proud of that.

3.) I like that I am nice to everyone. I like that I try to refrain from saying negative things about people. Sure, I slip up sometimes, but I'm glad that I at least try my hardest to make someone's day better, not worse.

Okay, now things I would change about myself:

1.) I would change that I am a "glass half empty" sort of girl. It gets in the way of being happy a lot of the time.

2.) I would change that I deeply dislike my body. Having struggled with self-harm and eating disorders for the past couple years, it isn't something I'm very proud of at all. If I catch someone looking at my scars I often blush and can't make eye contact with them. It's quite embarrassing.

3.) I would change that I push people away and don't accept the love people want to give me. I just assume I'm bothering someone. Or I just assume that someone doesn't like me. And when I let someone in, I shut them out when I get bad or relapse again. It doesn't stop the cycle of negativity, it just encourages it. I wish I would stop doing that, but I just keep on doing it every single time I let someone get close to me.

Things I like : some days, when I don't even try, i can make someone feel good about themselves. My wide, turned up nose (one girl used to say I'm like a pig. My aunt even called me Ms Piggy. But I love it!) And thirdly, my taste for trying new things Things I would change : probably have the figure I want. I would change my negativity and also I would have the motovation to do well in school, get the dream job and live happily!

Hi there, everyone. I am also part of the Depression Support group. I absolutely love the Depression Support room and I am so inspired by the amazing people who share and support in there. You are all amazing :)

3 things I like about myself:

1. I see the true beauty in everyone and in all things. it's a great thing :)
2. My compassionate and caring nature :)
3. I have a lucky knack of being able to cheer people up with a smile and a chat :)

3 things I would change about myself:

1. I want to be more accepting of my mistakes.. people generally forgive others for their mistakes,so why don't I forgive myself of my mistakes?
2. Balance.. I tend to be too much of an all or nothing sort of person.. something I am always conscious of
3. My openness with others..

I look forward to seing you all in Depression Support :)

Hi there :) I just joined the site a few days ago and have really appreciated all of the support so far, this group is great!

3 things I like about myself are my patient, caring nature, my creativity, and my sense of humour

3 things I would change are my tendency to procrastinate, my difficulty in letting myself be truly myself around others, and my self-judgement.

btw - in case anyone is curious - bean sidhe is Irish Gaelic. Itmeans "fairy woman" and is pronounced "banshee" ;)

Three things I like about myself: I have great kids. I love my dogs. I am compassionate to others in need

Three things to change. Stop crying all the time. Stop the hopelessness. I wish I had friends who I can talk to.
