I hate me

I hate me

Hi,

Started to come to a realisation that maybe I hate me, maybe all my life. ie, Self-loathing is me.

Excuse my french but here is what I believe my life story is in summary:

"My family f*cked me, then I f*cked my family and now I'm being f*cked (punished)".

(this is often what I remind myself IS my life story - I even sing about it! - I'm so f*cked up!!

Would LOVE to drop dead right NOW to finish all this endless torment in my head!

I am safe and have NO plans to finish me and I have promised my wife I WILL NOT end my life by my own hand - so all is well in that area. I'm seeing a GP and pych - and I'm sharing my "stuff" here - which helps!?

How do I start valuing, loving me when ALL I CAN SEE is "I was told I was sh*t (emotional/verbal/physical abuse) from as far back as I can remember, I passed on my sh*t to my family (who loved me and I stuffed it up) and now I'm still a sh*t sitting in MORE sh*t of my own making? A polished sh*t is still a sh*t!! Looking back I see so much of my life was covering the sh*t - class clown, funny man at social events, funny man out front (performing). Laughter, laughter, laughter but really lies, lies, lies covering up the "real" me. Who is the real me? - sick of that question to...........

So sick of being "me" - so sick of "wingeing", so sick of years of "aha" if I do this or that t-h-e-n I'll feel better. It always seems I'll never get it right and I'll always come back to "I'm f*cked, I'm sh*t, I'm nothing, I'm not needed" and I will never amount to anything of value to anyone including myself. Around, around and around I go....

Sorry for the stuff above but that's where I'm at - and as I said the above will probably never change, anyway......

That was a pretty positive post and timely for me to read @Getting2. Thanks for sharing. Sorry you still have lots of challenges ahead but it sounds like there are many times ahead for you to enjoy too. Best wishes. 💜🤗

Re: I hate me

@Getting2. What a positive change. The past few months, it sounds like you have had lots of support in fighting your negative self talk. And you obviously have put in a huge amount of work, to look after yourself and also your family. Well done! I think it should be acknowledged - all your hard work. Keep it up.
And I hope in the near future, you are able to stand up in front of an audience and tell them your story.
You are an inspiration. So wonderful to hear how you are progressing. All those baby steps - add up to kilometers walked!

I hate me 😭. I don’t want to be here anymore but I am. I am so scared I’ll never make the changes I need to. My emotions are getting more out of control than ever before. I don’t want to be the child anymore. 😢

Hey @Teej, it sounds like you're really struggling tonight. I'm wondering if there is anything we can do to support you? Did you want to contact the Help Centre tonight if you need to?

Re: I hate me

Thanks @Former-Member. I don’t think there is much point talking right now, it would just me be crying anyway. I’m just trying to hold on for the ride but it’s hard and I’m struggling.
