This is good. Great job for standing up for yourself, as that is something that takes time and a concerted effort.Loving yourself means not letting anyone treat you like dirt. I am getting a handle on that one too...took me awhile. Boundaries have to be set.
Doing the small things. Making sure my rooms are clean, that I dress neatly every day, I shave and clean and cut my nails

I'm a horrible person :kickingmyself:

I like to think of it this way. you are the only person on the earth that is YOU. NO ONE was ever the same as you and never will be. That's gotta mean something. It means you are special and worthy, no matter what kind of mental illness, or looks or anything. So take care of yourself. don't be so hard on yourself, do things for yourself. etc.
You're right. Loving yourself is not telling yourself to be superhero, batman, avenger, etc. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against ambitious people who believe they were endowed with magical powers and born to save the world. They can do their thing. Self love is about not being hard on yourself and doing things for yourself. You don't have to be a superhero to be able to love yourself. I have saved 0 lives in my life, never fought in wars, never served in the army, and never donated over $50 to charity, but I don't think it means I'm worthless and undeserving of self love, right?
How are you not doing self-love and it's affecting you? Are you some who always puts themselves last maybe?
