Do you ever wake up and hate yourself?

Question

Some days I can't help the thoughts that run in my mind over and over when I first wake up. I can't stop hearing that I hate myself. How can I stop that? Has anyone been here before? Does anyone have any useful tips?

Answer

Oh yes! Therapy has helped me a ton. Meds worked for a little bit but I didn't like the side effects. My therapist has told me (even though it sounds silly) that I have a little girl version of myself inside of me. Somewhere along the way, that little girl believed what others have said about me. He suggests that I console the little girl in me & help her to understand that those things aren't true. As an adult, sometimes we act out from within. Sometimes it's the inner child that comes out rather than the adult. I'm still getting used to the idea. It may not make sense to you. I'm horrible at communicating. Maybe it does. Hope it helps. I'm healing from emotional woundings I suffered from as a child. I also deal with major depression disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, & PTSD from a traumatic incident when I was a child. 
There's no shame in getting a little help from time to time. We all have issues. Some need help guiding their thoughts & processing them in a healthy manner. We don't always know just how to do that. Hope you get the help you need. Good luck!

Yes, but no remedy here...

Therapy. I'm serious. Maybe medication for the time being.
