I have come to realize a lot of bad things about myself tonight. With everything negative I uncover, it is like the positive things dwindle and I don't know how to forgive myself for the person that I have been. Nor do I know how to control myself from not being that person anymore.

The guilt and the shame of that I have done without realizing my emotional state is overwhelming.
I think that by recognizing your faults and wanting to do something about them is a step in the right direction of feeling better about yourself. I think everyone comes to a point in their life where they start recognizing a lot of things about themselves that just may not seem right or "normal". When that time came for me, it was a very dark and overwhelming time. I know what you mean about the positives dwindling. Sometimes they seem like they don't exist altogether... But knowing I'm doing something about it, and working on things makes me feel like I'm slowly but surely climbing the hill and not falling down it.
Thanks for this!
