When you're depressed you feel nothingness. This means you need to start flowing emotions through your head. Think about the bad and the good. Embrace both with proudness and love.

Focus on the good things and throw the bad things on the bin.Happy thoughts will get you through the emotional stress,just throw bad ones in a bin an time will heal

It is going to a hassle to learn to love yourself while you are depressed but it is not impossible. You're going to have to remind yourself the thoughts you're thinking are not you but the depression. You have to try to love yourself despite the thoughts. Also, you need to be willing to consider all options, including therapy.

You have to focus on you and what makes you happy. You can't worry about others and how they feel. You can't worry about others. Bottom line.

Loving yourself is all about learning your own limitations and your own skills and doing what makes you feel better. Everyday

It's not easy! But what has helped me the most recently is saying "if your best friend told you she was feeling this way, what would you say?" Why should any of us treat ourselves differently than we would a loved one!

Take tiny steps. The first step is to even realise when bad thoughts about yourself creep up... a lot of the time, we think negative thoughts without even noticing them. I really like a meditation technique called "noting", where you simply try to observe your thoughts and label them, without judging. For me personally, this really helped me become more aware of all the negative chatter that was going on in my head. After a while, I learned to give less weight to those negative thoughts, because I realised that's all they were: thoughts. Not truths. I'm still working on this every single day, but noting and labelling has helped me immensely in being more kind to myself.

When I am depressed, I express affection toward myself through pampering. I try to make myself feel attractive, or I give myself a special treat.

That requires time and effort, but it can be done. Start with baby steps... Look in a mirror and say one thing you like about yourself. It could be your personality or how good that top looks on you. Then progress into 2 things you like. Then 3, and so on. Sooner or later, it will build confidence and you'll feel happier about yourself. Depression does not define who you are.

When I am depressed, it is so so hard to get out of bed and do the things I always liked doing, but you have to start out small and kind of force yourself. I make tiny goals for myself the days I am having a depressive episode. Like take a bath, step outside for 5 minutes, find your favorite packaged food (sometimes we all need a little processed food to help). A little bit goes a long way, so when you make these tiny goals to fulfil, you will earn a little self lovin' along the way. It may take a long time but it is better from nothing at all.

Just taking little steps can really help. I would suggest to get motivated to get out of bed and do something that makes you feel good about yourself first. Then you can take steps like self care and treating yourself to help love yourself. Focusing on those positives and what you are thankful can also help you boost your mood. Honestly, it depends on you and just trying different ways will help you find what's suits you. Whether it's skincare, just taking a shower, or focusing on the things you like to do and not others are great ways to love yourself.
