I am extremely self-hating... help!?!
Question: I am extremely self-hating!.!.!. help!!?
I hate everything about myself, it annoys me when people tell me I'm pretty!. I mean I think it's nice that they compliment me, but liking myself has to come from me, not from others!. I am thin but want to be thinner!. I am large chested but want to be smaller!. I hate my voice, my face, my body, and it hurts those around me ( my boyfriend) when I talk bad about myself!. I really want to learn to like myself!. I go to therapy but it doesn't help, even though I try to open up!. I hate myself so much that in third grade I started self mutilating myself and being bulimic!.What should I do!?!?!? How do I stop!?!?!? How do I learn to like myself!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

I am so sorry you can't love yourself right now!. We all seem to go through periods of self loathing!. But somewhere along the way you lost respect for yourself, your body!. We are so amazing, all of us!. Yes, you are amazing!. Be thankful people tell you you're pretty!. Be thankful you wake up everyday and are able to write and talk!. Sometimes we go through life not appreciating all the wonder of the world!. Believe you are good and healthy and soon it won't be so difficult to hear that you are pretty!. Don't go to the darkness!. Try to find the light within you!. I describe it to my family this way!. We have a little devil on one shoulder telling us to believe bad things about ourselves and obsess about it!. Then there's the angel on the other side, asking you to find goodness in everything, especially yourself!. We all have bumps in the road we have to get over!. These are our life lessons!. We have to find the lesson in every bit of our lives!. I wish you every happines and joy! I hope that you try to understand how amazing your body and mind are!. There are a few books I'd like to recommend!. You Can Heal Your Life, The Secret, Quantam Wellness and You On A Diet!. All of these books are so interesting and helpful!. I don't think you need the diet one to go on a diet but it's more about healthy food and being good to yourself! Please try to enjoy every moment of this life that is so precious because as time goes by you'll realize that all the time you spent thinking about awful things are just that, thoughts that are awful!. I promise that if you read at least the first book I mentioned you will feel better! Try not to be so angry!. Do something nice for your family everyday and maybe it'll keep you busy enough that awful thoughts won't have a chance to deposit themselves in your mind for too long!. Oh, remember to eat well and sleep good so that your hormones and your body will thank you!. Enjoy every moment!Www@Answer-Health@Com
I currently have the same problem!. If you've been seeing your current therapist for a while and you don't see an improvement, I definitely think it's time for a new one!. Therapy can be SO hit or miss, it's ridiculous!. I saw several therapists before I finally found one that helped me!. Things are still rough but it's getting better!. Good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com
You need therapy!. I think you should go to a therapist!. You will learn to like/love yourself!. You know you can never truly love someone else if you do not love yourself!. You need to get help!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
find what you like about your self, or compare yourself to others, your thin stand next to a fat girl, you have nice hair stand near a tramp, you will realise how nice you acctually areWww@Answer-Health@Com
you need to tell your therapist that you feel this way and that you need additional help from other professionals!. don't deal with this all on your own!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
