Feeling Lost and Overwhelmed

I have felt this way. First, work on accepting yourself just the way you are. I know that can seem impossible at times. If you have a good friend who is kind and who loves you just as you are, try to spend a lot of time with them and then start treating yourself the way they treat you. Take away ALL the pressure you put on yourself to do more, be more, evolve, change, etc. Seriously. ALL OF IT. Tell yourself, "I love you forever, even if you never change." That will give you waaay more freedom to actually evolve and grow in a natural way instead of forcing it. Find one or two traits that you love about yourself. If you need help getting started, ask a friend. Or think about things that you do well that aren't so easy for others. Everyone has something, I promise. Think about those things often. Think about them on purpose when you're tempted to hate yourself again. Self-hatred is a thought. You can decide to change your thoughts. It's not easy, especially in the beginning, but it does get better, I promise you.
