Hi...

Imagine you had a friend that was experiencing what you are right now and she asked for your help. What would you say to that friend? Now imagine that you are that friend and have that very same dialog with yourself. Give yourself pep talks. Write down affirmations and tape them to your bathroom mirror. Every time you look in the mirror, repeat the affirmations. It may seem silly and you may feel ridiculous at first. But, it works. Or imagine yourself as a little child. Give that child all the love and warmth you missed as a child. That will help too. Keep up the affirmations and the nurturing of your inner child. Be gentle with yourself. Tell yourself you are a loving human being worthy of love.

The whole affirmation thing and nurturing your former child-self does work. I went through a rough patch in my twenties and longed for a lasting relationship. I realized that I was subconsciously seeking relationships that didn't go anywhere. I read somewhere about the affirmations. So, I started telling myself that I was loved and as I lived alone, at night, I would tell myself goodnight. It does work. It worked for me.
