Hug yourself

Yesterday I had dinner with a friend . She told me that she had got lost (herself), and she didn't know the meaning of life . She also said several times that she hated herself very much, so she wanted to erase/wipe out all the tracks/paths that she had gone down/followed,  and lead a new life. I told her that no matter the that life was or wasn't going on as she wanted like her will , it was had already been tough to achieve all the things that she had done (today) , so she should give get herself a hug , a big hug .
