"rewarding!"
How I did it: That life's not about FINDING yourself, but CREATING yourself.
I used to get very depressed when i was younger (like 16years old, im now only 19 but still) this was because i felt that i had no place, i was alone and i had no idea who i was and what i wanted to do. I compared myself to everyone, was crazy about my weight and lacked confidence so much so that i was afraid to go into town sometimes.
But the truth is, not many people know what they want. This is no reason to beat yourself up though. You are a person on the planet, no less than the trees and the stars and you have a right to be here and whether or not its unclear to you, no doubt the world is unfolding as it should.
So dont beat yourself up, get a pen and paper and write everything your great at, write down nice things people have said about you, even little clippings from magazines (places you'd like to visit) and create a scrapbook, your scrapbook...so whenever you're feeling down, look at it and remember what you're really great! :)
Then write down a problem you have, such as 'i think i'm fat' then write 5 postitive ways in which you can change, for example, walk to school/work have a piece of fruit, look in the mirror and say something nice about yourself, and work on one each day, and by the end of the week your problem will seem smaller.
Thing is, we are all different, and although your perception of yourself may be low, ask some other people what they think, and it is very very often different from what you think (in a good way). Dont compare yourself with people, there will alwyas be better and worse people than you, accept that and embrace life. There has to be something you want to do...a goal....an aim....whatever it is at least write it up and put it on your wall, focus on positive things rather than negative.
I did this and it changed my life, I'm now much happier and healthier. You're not BROKEN, you dont need FIXED, you just need to FOCUS yor thoughts and remember that you're not useless, or boring or plain. There's no one else like you, so create the best version of you possible! Life is too short to be bitter, so chin up....:)
and listen to some happy tunes! (like jason mraz-im yours)
