If you told yourself the same advice you share with others would you listen? Would you believe it too?

Someone brought this question to light with me a few years ago and often times its what keeps me going.

You wouldnt tell that person to just give up, right?

You wouldnt tell that person that nothing will get better, right?

You wouldnt tell that person that nobody loves or cares about them, right?

You wouldn't tell that person to starve or overeat, would you?

You wouldnt tell someone to self harm, right?

Then why do we tell ourselves that?
