Hey, I'm new here, too. I was first diagnosed with MDD, then Dysthymia, then Bipolar II, so I know what it's like to have a bunch of people try to tell you with complete certainty what you have while not knowing what goes on in your head. You're not the only one who dislikes yourself, either; I bet a lot of people with mood disorders feel this way. So welcome to Psych Central, and know you're not alone. <3
