it's been for about ten years that i started hating myself. i feel like i have amounted to nothing. i have two kids and i think they are the only things that keep me around. i hate myself. i have a girlfriend, who is great, but doesnt understand. i own my own company but that doesnt make me happy. i feel as if i have non place on this earth but in the dirt. i wish there was some help for me
You need to find what is making yourself hate "you" . ill asume its because you dont feel specail or people are not giving you the attention you want . Get involved with some friends who will make you feel specail just by being you and remember that you also have these kids to influence and some one to live for , now why would you hate yourself ?
I could relate till you said you had a great girlfriend and a company you own.... If I had those two things I would be on top of the world. Stop worrying if you have a place on this earth and start living life in the place you have..
I hate my self too. Just depends on what youve been through and how you go about things.
hmm, i agree with ohhhhyeah about the religion thing. Also, maybe you're depressed because you feel like you got to where you are too easyily? I don't know just a thought. Personally I don't know how you can become the head of a company while being depressed, It is impressive though. Definitly try therapy and ask your doctor about some drugs you can take. Hold on to the idea that in a year you will be happy as can be with a fulfilling life =]
Maybe you could look to some kind of spiritual faith system, I'm not trying to "push religion" on you or anything, but I feel as though God gives me a purpose and that's helped me through my own bouts of depression. I sincerely hope that you begin to find joy in life.
You really should talk to someone about that. No, it's not normal but that doesn't mean you have to live your life in a cloud.
Get a hobby. Something that requires a lot of training that you'd eventually become good at, and make sure it's something fun.
Does it help to reason that we all have some part to play, some beautiful, mr.Pitt, some clever, mr. Hawking, some crippled, mr, um, Hawking again, and some sad..(that'll be mr Me) ? If we could just get on with playing our part and not think about it maybe it could be ok. Seems we need to be absorbed in something to forget ourselves. Making your own business didn't do it for you. Maybe you have to get out of business and take up something where you can explore the hatred and kind of defuse it in time.
A couple years ago i almost killed myself. It was terrible. To this day i cannot look at a knife or medicine without thinking how painful of a death would that be or whatever it sucks. But whatever you do don t kill or hurt yourself. What helped me get out of depression was finding friends i could act like a retard with and just have fun with.
Lots of people feel that way because of their repetitive lifestyle. You should make sure you're doing what makes you happy.
You are a success at everything yet you hate yourself. And for 10 years. That is a pretty good sign of depression.
There is good help for depression. See a doctor or someone trained in cognitive therapy. Do it for your wife and kid's sake, as well as your own. You don't have to live like that.
i agree with lalala2009. do something completely impulsive. i hated myself for a while. i felt suicidal and wrote depressing poems. but then i just was like fuck this after about 8 months
and threw myself into awkward situations. to meet ppl and try new things. go for it.
try something spontaneous and different. something new interests the mind to adapt! even if its something your not really into.
