When I'm depressed, as I am presently, it's seemingly impossible for me to accept any of the good qualities I may have.
Positive mantras, ta-Dah lists, nicely shaped fingernails all fall by the wayside as I scrutinize and pronounce myself unworthy. I narrow my world view, literally - my vision only takes in what's directly in front of me and the big picture vanishes. I don't look in any mirrors and if I do, I just see the parts of me that I hate.When it's like this, even knowing that I won't have to go through this very day with its misery and self pity again, is of no comfort.
What keeps you going when you loathe yourself so completely?
