How can I stop hating myself?
I've been dealing with depression for about a year & a half now, and I find that I'm getting really frustrated with the recurrent self-loathing that I can't seem to conquer.
I compare myself to others, and always find myself lacking. I feel like if I'm not perfect I'm a loser, there's no in-between. I doubt other people's love for me, and feel unworthy. I know these thoughts are logical fallacies, but that only makes me feel weak-minded and stupid for having them in the first place. Catch-22. But these thoughts/feelings seem so TRUE...am I just keeping them in place for some reason I can't see?
How do you reach a realistic view of yourself? Why do I have so little compasion for myself? These feel like completely rhetorical questions.
