I can not think of a time throughout my whole life when I have liked even an inch of myself..
How do I begin to love myself, when I don't even know who I am..?

    It's different for each person. I've only started to like myself recently; it's just a matter of trying new things, and sticking by what you do. My self-confidence soared through the roof once I started eating healthier and working out, and I haven't even lost weight yet :P It's just the mindset of knowing that I'm doing something good for myself that's made things change.

    But yeah. Finding out who you are is just a matter of trying new things, and not being afraid to take opportunities when they come. Good luck :)

    5 positives and a goal.

    Every day, diary 5 things you love about yourself and something you're working on. I did this when I was a teen and post-suicidal and it's gold. Things like:

    - i have such good friends that that must mean i'm a good person
    - i was complimented on my hair today
    - i'm proud that I ate such a good dinner
    - i excercised today although i was tired
    - i achieved a goal at work today

    - i'm working on drinking more water

    it really focuses you on whats good, and what you can do to be even better.

    Find out who you are. Spend time alone. When an urge hits, follow it to it's natural/logical conclusion. If that made you happy, do it again. And again, and again.
