How do I stop hating myself?

[Anonymous]

I hate everything about myself including my body, the way I think, and just my overall being. I've hated myself for years and I've also been battling with severe depression for pretty much my whole life. I'm pretty sure I'm just going to end up killing myself before I hit 30 because there's just no point. I feel like I just never belonged anywhere. I kind of hate that I was even born.
But as you could probably guess I'm really tired of all of this. I am just so sick of having this war of emotional dysfunction. I don't have hope it'll get better but everything has just become so dull and pointless to a point where I'm willing to at least try to fix some of these issues.
I don't go to therapy but I assume that's what most people would suggest. I just wanted to see if anyone had any other ideas besides seeing a psychiatrist because talking doesn't seem like it'd help and I never liked any of the one's I saw in the past. Plus I feel like they'll just try to write me off in a prescription and I tried the medication thing about a year ago and it just felt like I was filled with artificial happiness from the medication.
So if anyone has any ideas about how I can stop hating myself so much it'd be appreciated.

Look you have some serious self esteem problems which ultimately leads to depression... killing your self won't solve anything.. so don't you kill yourself...
What you can do is go to the gym and work in your body... and trust me when you will see the change in your body you will seriously love your self.. It boosts your confident...

Second you should really take therapy... It really solves your problem... I have gone through counseling... and trust me i was feeling fine after two sessions... So just go and do it... why most of the time counseling fails is because people don't want to change themselves and their problems... If you wanna feel good about yourself then first accept yourself as you are... Then works on your self and then you will gain confidence and you will all right...😊

Awww girl. It's sad to hear that someone think for herself that way...
I'm not a professional but suggest you to not think any of this.
I believe everyone has some differences that's whats it make us unique.
Here is the tip: keep yourself busy. Note down some things which you like the most- photography, painting etc.
Join some community online, meet people with same interest.
And most important: Love yourself :))

this is a moment in your life when you're going to learn so much about yourself. you're going to beat this i promise. life has a way of handing you challenges that you must overcome to grow as a person. you'll be able to connect with more people because you know how you felt when you were at rock bottom. you will discover more about yourself and your emotions. be open to this time in your life as it presents a spirtual challenge: being happy and loving yourself. you'll make it. find new oppurtunities and seek out new relationships

Please don't hurt yourself!!! Trust me, I've been there and so many of us have. Had there been something in your past that has promoted your self hate?

I'd say it stemmed from moving into a new town years ago where everyone was always trying to be perfect while also judgmental towards others. I was bullied in Jr. High by a group of girls who used to make fun of my hair and clothes so I'm sure that is where the self hate stemmed from, and the atmosphere of everyone always trying to be perfect made it even worse.

If your underlying issues are that complicated... then yes u should seek professional help. If cost is an issue if u talk to a state department they can probably find a professional for someone to see, for little to no cost.

When I'm feeling down I tell myself that life's just a ride, there is much that we cannot control, so we might as well enjoy it.

Become spiritual find God

I used to be a Christian and still felt the same way if not worse because I felt like I couldn't be as perfect as the Bible and church wanted me to be. Becoming an atheist has relieved some of the stress, but thanks anyway. I still respect religions but it just never worked for me.

It worked for me research other religions see which one agrees with modern science and incorporates the natural fallacy of humans
