huskey Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 I'm crying because I realized that I am not okay. I know I have posted a lot, but I need some advice on how to love myself more. So many people think that I am perfect when I'm am the opposite. I don't completely hate myself, which is good, but I am definitely losing myself. 2 MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is that like for you? MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like I am losing myself because I have started doing things that I don't do. For example, I have started isolating myself from certain people and I have started to get really angry for no reason. Like I said, you guys have really helped me already and I appreciate that. :) MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't completely hate myself, which is good, but I am definitely losing myself. If you want to love yourself more, maybe you should start by focusing on what you like about yourself and what you have to be grateful for instead of focusing on what other people think of you. In the end, other people's opinions aren't going to affect you, it's the way you think about other people's opinions that change how you think about yourself. Maybe you should get an empty notebook, and every day make a list of the things you like about yourself. Make a list of things to be grateful for, and every time you're feeling down, take that list out and look over it. if people say you're perfect and you think you aren't, don't focus on that. Focus on what you like about yourself and move foreword from there. Not sure if this advice is really relevant, but just do your best to what suits you. :) 1 MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have one friend who is helping me. My family knows, they just think it is fake (they think I am asking for attention). She is really helping me, but there are still times I feel alone. I also help her with a lot of the things she goes through. Her and I have each others backs. So, yeah. I just wish my family believed me and would help me. 1 MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey there, Yeah, it's perfectly normal to want support from your family, and I hope you can get it soon. I'm glad you have help from your friend and us as well; I hope this is helping you to feel like you have support around you. Just going back to what you said about isolating yourself, I'm wondering, how do you think this is going for you? What impact is that having on your life? Also, just to let you know, if you would like more support, I am off from 2nd to the 7th February. If you need more support, please create another topic or send a message on confidential support, thanks :) MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huskey Posted February 2, 2023 Author Share Posted February 2, 2023 Well, the isolation isn't really fun besides the fact that I escape from reality by reading. It's having a negative impact because when my family goes out, I don't want to. Idk. I just feel like I haven't been myself for a while.

Heyy @huskey, @Monsoon is off till 7th Feb, so I wanted to jump on this chain. If that's okay with you and whether you'd like to talk more about the isolation and escaping from reality?
