Hey y'all, I'm really struggling with negative thoughts about myself, and it's hard to think positively. I feel stuck and don't know what to do. Do you have any specific tips or ideas on how to think more positively about yourself? I've been trying, but I keep coming back to negative thinking, and it's affecting my life—I can't socialize or make friends because of it. And because of these thoughts, I feel like my mental health has just become worse, and I feel like I need help because I don't want to go to a mental hospital again, and I don't want to make my parents worried about me. I am currently unable to see a therapist due to an insurance issue. I just need someone to talk to and advice on how to cope and think more positively. If you have any suggestions or helpful tips, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks for reading my thoughts.
