Can i get a step by step on how to do this?

So far for me itโ€™s been something like:

1. Become aware of how and when you tearing yourself down.

2. Now that you can catch yourself doing it. Offer counters to the negative self talk. A really useful thing I read was to talk to yourself almost the way you would child. Gentle and patient. Even when they fuck up.

3. Take time to celebrate your small accomplishments. Youโ€™ve been attacking yourself for every little mistake. Apply that same fervor to the positive things in your life. Did the dishes even though you didnโ€™t want to? Fuck yeah! Got up and took shower? YES!!! You are taking positive steps to feeling better. Celebrate it.

4. Make lists of things youโ€™re good at/ like about yourself. The first time I did this the only two things in my list weโ€™re that I liked my hair and I had good friends. It was start.

5. Donโ€™t beat yourself up if you screw up steps 1-4. Itโ€™s counter productive. When I catch myself calling my self stupid for some mistake or other my response now is,โ€œWe donโ€™t talk to ourselves like that anymore. Whatโ€™s something constructive that could actually help solve the problem.โ€

Most of the time that seems to work. Not always. But more and more Everytime.

I hope any of that made sense.

This is great advice @catastrofries

โ€œYEA – Itโ€™s a heavy trip. BUT! This is a chance to CHOOSE YOUR OWN LABEL instead of having someone else do it for you:

straight, asexual, lesbian, bisexual, anti-label, dyke separatist, ?, lesbian feminist, anti-sexual or whateverโ€
