I feel like this often. When I first got diagnosed it was a relief. Now I am back to self-hate and loathing. Other then that I don't know what to say. I can't find words.. :x

Normal? There's more dead people than live people so I reckon dead is normal.
Don't be normal! =)

Or normal like Neurotypical normal? It's not normal for them to hate themselves, denial is normal there. =)

I've gone through many periods of intense self-loathing, and I find that I tend to hate myself more whenever I'm around other people that I hate as well. At the moment, I don't hate myself nearly as much as I used to, though I still hate myself a bit for some of the dumb s**t that I do, and for some of the regrettable decisions I have made.

it's a mean world out there, so to be mean to oneself by hating oneself [as opposed to hating the limitations one happens to be existentially straitjacketed into] is a double tragedy. don't hate ourselves, people!

I don't know. I don't like myself cause others don't, certainly there are a bunch of people that love and like me, but there's so many that don't compiled with the millions that must be like them. I couldn't help but start to dislike myself as well. as for if it's normal, I don't know. I have always wanted to be normal though.
