Sometimes I can't even look in the mirror

Sometimes I despise myself so much that I don't want to get out of bed, that I don't want to talk to anyone, that I can't even look in the mirror.

I hate the fact that I keep repeating the same stupid mistakes again, and again even though I know that it's will hurt.  I hate that I put everything off until the last minute so then I am running around stressed trying to get everything done. I hate that little thrill I get from getting the better of someone else.  I hate that I know exactly what to say so that I get my way-even though it will hurt those that I love. Sometimes I look in the mirror and I simply despise how I look. I could go on and on but I can't because you know what that will make me hate myself even more. I will hate myself for hating myself and I can't let that happen. I think that would be my breaking point.


So I put on a smile and think of something funny. I get dressed and go downstairs. I read, write, run, dance, work, play with my puppy, watch movies, and talk with my family and friends. I look around and count my blessings.   I put guards in place so that I won't hate myself. I don't compete with others, I try and look for the good in everyone so that I won't find myself tearing them down. I do my best to put myself on a schedule so I won't be doing things so last minute (this one is waaaaaay easier said then done). Some days are easier  then others but I tell myself that tomorrow is a new day and I just got to make it through today. And you know what? It happens.
