    It sounds like you are going through a difficult time right now. Thank you for reaching out for help! The way that you think dictates the way that you feel. If you think negative thoughts about yourself frequently, you are going to feel negative about yourself frequently. To stop this negative cycle, you have to learn how to control you thoughts.

    Sometimes it can help to talk to someone and tell them about what you are going through. Please know that there are people who can and will help you with what you are going through. You may want to consider talking with a counselor at a hotline. There are many hotlines that are 24/7 and will work with you and situations like yours. Some even have email and/or chat if you would prefer. I hope that you will continue to reach out! Sincerely, KO, Counselor

    Become a Doctor of the Soul... self-love is the practice of understanding, embracing, and showing compassion for yourself. Self-love involves nurturing your entire being – that means taking care of yourself on the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual levels. When engaging in self-love, we also work to forgive ourselves, accept our flaws, and embrace our inner demons.. you can't expect anyone else to love you until you learn to love yourself. Cut Yourself Some Slack

    Tell yourself something positive like how well you handled a situation, talk to people who encourage you by supporting your ambitions. Embrace and love the things that make you different because there’s only one you. I don’t know about you but I wouldn’t chose to be anyone other than myself. Communicate with likeminded people.
