    Hello Lovely,
    I just wanted to start off by saying that you’re absolutely not alone feeling like this, in fact I’ve struggle with this throughout almost my whole adolescent and adult life. There are some things that have helped me through the years and I would love to share them with you!
    One of these things id to pick out tiny things about yourself that you feel confident about in the moment. I know that it’s hard to look at your whole self and soul and that that you love it, so start out really small. for example, I used to say that I loved the way a freckle looked on me because it was in the shape of a fish. small things like how your eyes look, or how a certain piece of clothing fits. I’ve found that this helps so much in boosting my confidence during the day. I know this is a small thing and not the only solution, but I hope that this can help you in any way!

    You’re awesome, lots of love!

    First of all, I’m so sorry to hear about your hard past, I know i don’t understand what it’s like in your situation but I understand pain and for that I can connect with you.

    I have struggled with tenacious anxiety and depression after my brothers passing this past year, and I have learned a few things that have helped me through the darkest thoughts and the craziest panic episodes that I’d love to share with you.

    During a particularly sad moment, as hard as it might seem, try to list a couple of things that are going well. ie: your hair is looking awesome today, the weather is beautiful or maybe someone helped you with something today. It sounds so cheesy but it really helps me, because once I start, all of the small things I can find, out-shadows the sad thoughts that lurk around.

    On the note of anxiety, I can say that the most influencial thing for me in the most panicking times is to just talk yourself through the moment instead of sitting through the thoughts. I like to say “look around you, there’s nothing hurting you, you’re alive, and things are okay.” as a mantra.

    I hope that these little things can help a little bit, I know i don’t have all the answers and solutions, but this is my best I can give to you. remember that you can get through this and the toughest battles are given to the strongest people. 🙂

    lots of love! <3
