Dear honey:

You shared Jan 11 and Feb 5 this year, that you (at 17) have “already been through a lot, growing up I’ve experienced a lot of pain and misery”, that you have “suffered from disassociation and identity issues”, and that you are “constantly battling your thoughts”, and you repeatedly fall into depression episodes that are getting progressively worse.

Today you shared that you’ve had a very supportive male friend for years before he became your boyfriend since about October 2019, but because of the “severe mental illnesses my whole life”, you hurt him, he then hurt you back, and yesterday, the two of you broke up, and now he is back to being your supportive friend. You asked for help, learning “how  to finally love myself… to cultivate good habits”.

My input: you can find answers on how to love yourself in many online websites, including on the home page of this website, such as to-do lists: daily aerobic exercise, guided meditations, etc. But to find a personalized answer, it has to fit your personal story.

If you want to share your story, what is  in the pain and misery that you experienced (“growing up I’ve experienced a lot of pain and misery”), please do, and I will reply further to you.
