I started by focusing on a strength. something positive about myself that I wasn't able to discount no matter how down on myself I got. that eventually became two things and then three and then a whole list of good things about me. then I realized I was worthy of love and it became easier to love myself. it just starts with one. welcome to psych central. you will find we have several forums where you can post about your concerns and receive feedback from other members. you will get a lot of support here. again, welcome
