By learning how to contain past experiences, for example, by considering them as an outcome of parts of my character that I actually admire in myself ([My counsellor] helped me to realise this) I really feel that I have found more determination/hope to live my life. This is why I have ticked 'Agree' for the confidence box -- I have more faith in myself that I can do it. Although at the moment I still have days where I struggle to feel good about myself, I believe that this determination will help me through the next period of my life and slowly I hope the days where I hate myself will be fewer and fewer as I prove to myself what I can do.
