I’ve been feeling sad for a long time, I don’t like myself, I HATE seeing myself in the mirror, I’m overweight, but I’m working out, but every time I see my stretch marks I just want to cry. I don’t have friends except 3 or 4 but online friends, I cut myself but that was one or two times. Am I okay?
Not Liking Yourself Is Painful
You don’t sound like you’re okay. Would you say you’re okay? It’s extremely painful to experience not liking yourself (wherever you go, there you are).
Where to Get Support
I would suggest speaking to a counsellor about how you can create a self-identity to be someone who you do like. You can contact someone to speak to at Insight Psychological (780-461-1717), The Family Centre (780-424-5580) or The Support Network (780-482-0198). You can also call the Distress Line after hours (780-482-4357). I wish you all the best.
