Self love is usually limited to insignificant problems as well. A poor person can’t “self-love” their way into a job that pays a livable wage, or into having enough money to make rent at the end of the month. Yet I’ve had therapists waste my time with this feel good bullshit when I was stressed about being evicted and facing homelessness. We need to acknowledge that a lot of mental illness is actually the result of economic barriers and other serious structural issues with our society.
