I believe my perfectionism creates my self-hatred which in turn creates my emotional issues.I’m being taught how to accept myself with an incredibly supportive best friend even if she lives a long distance away.

I am sorry that you struggled such an abusive childhood. Kudos to you for working hard to relax your strong tendencies! Hope that things continue to ease up for you.
I, too, am a perfectionist. I hadn't ever thought of it as being related to my self-hate. Although when I say it now, Duh!! It makes sense!
I am often seeking out all imperfections to put myself down further. It is a horrible whirlpool of thoughts and feelings.
Thank you for sharing your perspective!
