Negative Thoughts About Myself

<div class="ExternalClass02581FDC344E4D688E326C7766B15590"><p style="font-family:georgia;font-size:16px;">​<span>I have been really negative thoughts about myself and what people think of me. I been having these since realized I probably have some form of depression. I don't know how to get rid these because they make me feel sad. Every time I try to tell myself its not true it never works. I also hate compliments. It has something to do with my low self esteem, if someone compliments​ me on something I hate about my self I don't accept it or I say it's not true. How do fix this? </span></p> <span style="font-size:16px;"> </span></div>

The next time you go in for a checkup talk with your family doctor.</span></p> <span style="font-size:16px;"> </span><span style="font-family:tahoma;font-size:16px;"> </span><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family:tahoma;font-size:16px;"><span>Take Care,</span><br></p> <span style="font-size:16px;"> </span><span style="font-family:tahoma;font-size:16px;"> </span><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family:tahoma;font-size:16px;"><span>LO, Counselor</span></p> <span style="font-size:16px;"> </span> <span style="font-size:16px;"> </span></div></div> </div>
