You sound really depressed. Have you thought about seeing a doctor to get some counselling?

Try posting on the Depression board. I'm sure you'll find a lot of help, support and info there.

Take care!

I hope you feel better today. I spent most of my life hating myself. Now that I am older, I feel better and don't give as much of a hoot. I also take an anti-depressant called Zoloft that has helped me a lot. I have a son who is 20 and he says he hates his life. I worry about him a lot. He stopped trying in school in the 8th grade and quit but I still love him. I hope your parents love you too no matter what.

I have also spent most of my life hating myself too, but mostly about my life and my appearance. There was a point when things were going so horribly for me. I was being abused by relatives and was stuck in a low paying job, but things have gotten better for me and people here on these boards encouraged me to feel better about myself.
Maybe if you talk to someone like a counselor it may help.

First, you should know that what you are feeling is unfortunately normal. I know that horrible feeling you are talking about. The feeling that scrapes away at any bit of happiness you feel you might have left in your soul. Second, you should know that there IS help out there. Don't be ashamed to get it. You SAY you are not SUICIDAL, but remember that most suicides are unexpected and if you are depressed, then you're mind is not functioning at full throttle. You must realize how important you are. Even though you hate yourself, know this, Jesus loves you. There's a reason why you posted...you needed help. I pray you find peace and learn to love your self. "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
