Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
I hate myself. I wish I was normal, I wish I was pretty, 20 pounds less, and I wish I wasn't disgusting. I just hate myself so much and I don't even know where to start or how to get out of this mess.

Hello, I do not know your situation or what you are currently going through. I can tell you are a very caring and compassionate person just by reading your words. I use to feel the same way but I learned to love who I am and hold my head high no matter what. Start by loving your self or change what you do not like. I hope this helps.

First of all I am sure you are beautiful the way that you are. I hope you are not comparing yourself to others. Especially on TV or in magazines because those are all photoshopped. The first step is to start looking for things in yourself that you find beautiful and build on those qualities. I have a hunch that you were hearing that you're not beautiful from others may be being bullied at school and such please don't listen to the words of other people and maybe seek some counseling. I believe that you're beautiful and you deserve to feel that way!

Hello, I know depression is disabiliting, when times seem at their worse. I know how hard it is to pick up the pieces of your life. YOU can change things. I wish I was only 20 lbs less. We all hate ourselves at times. My Mom always said “I never promised you a rose garden”. You can start over again if you have to. I don’ know what your situation is, but you are not discusting., and you are not alone. You know what I like to do when I get down? Go shopping.... I like to go to Goodwill. Doesn’t cost much for something different to wear. You can fix your mess! We all have messes. We all have to fix ourselves at times. Just pride yourself with a, I CAN do this attitude. You are normal! We all have self doubt at times. Just say to yourself, I can do this! I can make a difference. My prayers are with you. CarolAnne

I am sorry that you feel that you hate yourself. I have been in your shoes as well, where I wasn't (and sometimes still don't) really like the way that I look. I have found that my faith in God has helped me to realize that He has made me, and I believe every person priceless just the way they are. There are always times where you may not like the person that is looking back at you in the mirror, but like some of the other people have said, try not to compare yourself to others and just be you! Praying that you let God reveal your true beauty to you.
