Oh, I'm still here. Had some Biiiiig life changes (moved house, moved in with partner & her two kids), so yeah, been adjusting to those. Haven't stopped writing, just mulling life in general. :)

I read this a couple of days ago..and I've been using your advice in all sorts of ways on all sorts of things. And I must say it really helps!
It's easy to love ourselves when life is good, when we're doing well, when we feel buoyant...but the challenge is to love ourselves when we're down, when we've made a mistake, when we fail :( ...and of course these are the very times when we need MORE love, not less.
Your article reminds us that true love is unconditional - and that we're lovable in spite of our faults, and sometimes because of them :-)
So thanks! !

One of those paradoxes of life — the time when you LEAST feel like sorting something out (healing it) is THE best time to be doing so.

How about now? Are you upset I waited two days to reply? Just trying to help you find a good moment to test things out :)

I love myself for throwing up? Has a nice ring to it... like it could be on a bumper sticker.

;)

But seriously, I agree with you. I particularly like the maximum emotional connectivity argument. I may be due for some cathartic screaming.

I love myself for now having "I Hate Myself for Loving You" stuck in my head.

I will try this next time I get upset.
