You're totally right. I'm so sorry; I didn't mean to ignore your question! I think the self-hate has almost always been there. I am really sensitive to how others perceive me and ever since I was in middle school, I started to feel like something was fundamentally wrong with me. I still feel like I just mess things up and can never be the best version of myself. You are right that actions feed into thoughts and vice versa. I need to stay calm and stop black-and-white thinking. I just hate how much I get upset at myself and how my instincts are to self-harm. I am a work in progress.
Thanks, Sannah, for listening and encouraging me to think about it.
