What self hatred really does


One of the worst and most hidden type of hatred is self hatred. Sometimes more than others it can cause people to choose dangerous and various methods of dealing with it. I would know because i lived it . There were times i hated looking in the mirror and when i did all i saw was what my bulimia wanted me to see. All i saw when i was sick was alll the things that i had to fix about myself. I remember the pills,and purging and cuts that i did to make the hatred go away,  but it kept comming back. Now i have learned being almost recovered that when you let go of your bulimia most of your self hatred goes with it because it leaves with what started it. So if you ever have that problem just do what i do don't think  about what you don't like about yourself but think of the stuff you love about your life.

This my sound weird but it helps but i write compliments and quotes on my mirror and notebooks to help me remember that self hatred is the road that i once took that almost cost me my life.
