Depression and anxiety can be really harmful for the mind and it also reflects to the body with various sicknesses. Self-compassion can definitely help you fix many things in life, because you start to become a much more positive person. When there's little to no stress and anxiety, we can experience life in different colors.

Loving your self is very important, yet it's overlooked by most people, because everyone's consumed by their daily life. We often think worse of ourselves, which leads to many bad consequences. Appreciating yourself is a good first step to living a better, more positive life :)
