Self love exercise
So this is my attempt to feel a bit better about myself( I struggle a lot with self hate and extremely low self esteem due to childhood trauma and depression)
Self love affirmations:
๐I am great.
๐I don't have to be like everybody else, I am unique.
๐I am beautiful.
๐I have beautiful hair.
๐ I am not weak for having depression and trauma I am on the contrary very strong.
๐ I can do this.
๐ I believe in myself
๐I love myself
To be honest I don't believe any of these but I'm trying my best. My core belief I'd that I am horrible and don't deserve love and nobody will ever like me for who I am. I just need therapy at this point๐ญ๐
@23helicopters yeah therapy would help alot. I find its easier to be kind to others than to be kind to myself. And then I feel better about myself. I have no advice for you sorry. So I'll just hug you โค
Same! It's much easier to be kind to others! I'm glad there's someone who can relate to this too. Sometimes hugs can help much better than words so thank youu. Hugs you back๐ซ
Therapy is extremely expensive where i live tho so I guess starting with self help books would be already great!
@23helicopters ohhh๐ I'm really lucky I live in the UK. We have free healthcare here, including psychiatrist and psychologists. I wish you could be here and get help too.
