It just occured to you? Or you knew all along but refused to admit it was bothering you.
Erin dont block things out, they have a habbit of seeming so much worse.
Find out if you can still phone her while she is away, make back up plans for other people you can talk to.

I don't have any words of wisdom but wanted to drop off some hugs and cookies and tell you that you're not useless! There are so many people here who care about you. Take care hun

Erin. Honey. I'm sorry you know? Sorry that I can't make all this go away and make things great and wonderful. It sucks. It really does. But i'm thrilled to fricking pieces that you've made this thread. And you know what? I do think you're strong. Strong for being alive. But you're also a fragile shattered mess inside. it's okay to feel like nothing is working. Hopefully your therapy stuff will pick up soon when you get that mental health care plan and stuff. *hugs* my pm box is always open to you sweets. Always.

Ween *clings* Love you too

I'm trying. I'm going to try and extend my support network, aka, talk to my other friends more. They all talk to me and turn to me when they need someone and I know they are willing to accept me doing the same (of course, I think that now, but who knows what I think in ten minutes)

I'm going to try, one thing at a time, I'm going to try and improve things. I have let my emotions wallow in squalor for a long time. I know thats not going to happen overnight, but I am going to start at a superficial level.

Of course, I am terrified. I don't think this will last very long, this vague determination I have plucked from nothing.

I'm just so scared that I'm not strong enough to do it alone, you know. when I'm by myself, either physically or emotionally, I'm my weakest, I'm my most terrified.

how does one stop hating themselves?

But Erin the beauty with this site is u never have to be alone! You've got friends worldwide who loves ya! So the chances are even in the middle of the night ur time some of us ll be around here cos its our afternoon!

How do u stop hating urself? U just have to try and realise that other people don't hate u and think that ur a wonderful person, so can we all be wrong??? xx

[Bitter_Angel]

Erin,
you need to find bits of you that you like rather than look at you as a whole. I think I hate myself when I am feeling low- but I am working on it - so far I've managed to come up with some good points about me - i.e I have a really good heart - I really care about others and also care about how what I do affects others - I know I am a good person in that respect so I can't hate myself completely . Try something like that - just find bits of you that you think are good - gradually you will see you're not a bad person - we see it all ready.
Hopefully you can get to the point where you hate what has happened to you - the things that have made you feel this way - but you will realise that you are not too blame and there is no reason to hate you. Good luck and take care. xxx
