Hi Dejena
I feel so deeply for you as you face the torturous feelings that come with self hate. Self hatred is a truly horrible experience no one can relate to unless they've felt the intensity of it for themself.
Feel completely free to come back here anytime to fully express yourself in any way you feel the need. There is nothing worse than when we say to someone 'I hate myself so much' and they respond with 'Don't say that!' It can leave us feeling so shut down. When all we wish for is an invitation to open up, so we can vent and make better sense of things, 'Don't say that!' takes away that invitation. It is unfair and in some ways cruel.
Anytime Dejena, the invitation's open.
🙂

G'day Dejena,
Welcome to bb forums.
I am well experienced with feeling hatred.
I suggest you closely examine the specifics of what you hate about yourself, and set goals towards feeling love for yourself.
So for example, I hate being obese. Thus I eat less, in an effort to be less obese and thus feel less hate.
Can you do something like that?

Thanks so much for your post and expressing yourself. Many reading your words like me know what self hatred feels like. Sometimes it is hard to express what that feels like.
You are not alone and we are listening.

You are going to make me cry🥺.
"Don't say that" is not helpful. It's like saying shut your mouth.
What's the point in staying safe when u can end the pain instantly by dying
I want to block everyone that doesn't talk to me anymore.
