Constantly blaming myself

[Requan]

I simply hate my life.

I hate the person I am.

I hate that my feelings take over my actions.

I'm feeling like if I wasn't here the world would be better

There's a long long story to how I've now ended up here

Hi there Requan,

Why do you hate yourself?

Are the things you hate about yourself things that you can change? If you can, you can work towards improving who you are and how you react to certain situations.

I can assure you that there are times when people hate the way they have reacted to certain things, or regretted words they have said or things they have done but it doesn't always have to be that way.

A good way to stop your feelings from taking over your actions is just to stop and take a few breaths and think before you behave in a certain way. It's always good to not make any decisions, especially if you are feeling angry or upset and wait until you clear your head to get some perspective. I know it's not always easy or that simple, but with practice you'll get there.

We all have things we dislike about ourselves, but "hate" is such a strong word!

Thanks for your words. They all make perfect sense.

I'm really having a tough time trying to stay above water with my thoughts. I get so down on myself because I'm my harshest critic and it all overwhelms me to the point that I wanna run away and more.

There's a lot more to my story which my be I'll get into as I go along on here, so at the moment this is a good place to come to vent my thoughts.
