Depression and SelfLove

[simply_over]

I havent had friends for years. My relationship with my mom also isnt very good. Ive been depressed for years. I feel like its because I lack selflove. Even as a kid I was always trying to get validation from others to feel better about myself. I dont know whats wrong with me. But now that I have 1 friend and we talk a lot I feel like i'm gaining more insights about myself and who I am. And I'm not happy with who I am and I think this causes depression. I think I'm somewhat a perfectionist. I need to work on myself to actually feel better about myself and feel more love. I dont know how to go about this though and maybe there are other ways of feeling love for yourself. But I have been miserable for years and isolated and now that I talk to a friend I feel the fog clearing. I need selflove.

I need it too.
But I fear it is too late and it would be too much of a hassle to give myself love.
Just try to hang in there brocel.

Not really something you can force. It's good to not be too harsh on yourself

Hope your friend can carry you out of this black hole!
