Easier said than done, but try to find small, simple ways you can improve tomorrow compared to who you are today.

I think you should start with being kinder to yourself. Show yourself some grace, dude. You will escape this horrible season of your life eventually.

I’m so sorry you’re going through this. I hope and pray your 2025 treats you better.

One way I found to get over my self-hatred was to literally say "I love you" in front of the mirror.

It's cheesy as it sounds, but honestly it really does work. Give it a go for a couple of days, perhaps a week or so, and see how that happens.
It won't happen immediately, CBT (not the... Yknow) takes effort and the pay-out is amazing.
Just like learning to walk.

You got this. Believe in yourself.

Yo! I also dealt with some serious depression in my 20s. I know everyone has a different reason why life can suck, but you can make things better for yourself. Try to recognize the problems you can control. It's true that smiling and saying "I love you" in the mirror works, it fucking weird but words have power and our brains respond positively to things like that. Meditation is really good too, if you're open to taking shrooms meditating is not that far off. Life can get better, there are always going to be ups and downs. Good luck to you man!
