Hiya Christina ~
I am glad you didn't hate yourself so much that you didn't post :)
I go through this too, of course ~ I keep thinking I'll get better at remembering some good things about myself during the down times, but it's as if I become deaf to that frequency range. My siblings really do hate me, esp. my sister, so I end up hearing their voices, and they drown out those of the few (but dear) friends I have had. I carry a lot of guilt for past mistakes, and when I peer into the abyss I forget the other aspects of who I am.
I don't know what to say to you, except that I am listening, and I hope you can hang in there until you can gain a different perspective. I don't want to offer platitudes, but I do believe you aren't worthy of your current mood. I just read a few of your old posts, and you and I have some things in common. Tell us more about what's going on, okay?
luff,
mary

I like that you said "today", showing wisdom and hope that it doesn't have to be forever.
I have those days, too. They stink.
Glad you could write it.

> Christina - I think I know what your talking about. Even when I don't hate myself there are lots of days when i really don't like myself and i feel that this is very subjective. Sort of like the person you don't click with or you don't like for no particular reason you can put your finger on. It seems that I can no more make myself like myself than I can make myself like this "other" person, and I can get rather despairing about this since I can't escape "me" the way i can escape someone else i don't like. Frankly what works best for me is not thinking about myself, so I can't dwell on all the things I don't like. The "non-thinking" days are pretty random - this is not something I've managed to be able to control. Here's hoping for a better day. K

Boy, does the "hearing a sibling's voice" ring true for me. My sister also hates me. I used to hear her criticisms almost all of the time.
