I know I've offered already, but please feel free to send me a PM if you want to talk about any of it

It's certainly not your fault what you believed in the past. Indoctrination is an evil thing and anyone under those circumstances would have been brow beaten into the same beliefs. The important thing is you have grown and broken free of them.

My initial advice would be to write down a list of all the supposed bad things about yourself, then see how much objective evidence you can write down for each of those points. I would wager not much.

Then maybe write down your good points, and the objective evidence for them! I'd start with kind, thoughtful, fun and honest.
