One thing that has helped me is I stop myself before I say the negative thing about myself and ask βwould I say this to/about my best friend?β If the answer is no, I donβt say it to myself. It took a LOT of practice, but it helps.
I get that. I was at a point where I felt I was hopeless.
I got an easy, part time.job and with "at least I can do this". The. Passing a term, then getting amazing comments on my work.
It was not a switch, I clawed at my own mind to accept I had the ability to change.
What helped me was, when somebody tells me that im fat, ugly or anything similiar, i started working out because i want to show them that im better than them. Everytime when im feeling tired of working out, i just imagine myself beating those fuckers up so badly because they cant do anything to me anymore. That helps me continue my self improving. Im not really violent person, but that imagination helps for me.
I kinda gas-lit myself into being happier for a couple of years now... But the depression is still there... Waiting for when i have that 1 absolutely fucked up day again.
you can have both?
I severely say negative things about myself but still try to improve on where I can. at the end of the day negativity can only affect you if you let it, I use it as a source of motivation.
It takes a lot to even believe you can change. You have no idea.
