Hi there,
I recently attempted a confidence spell. I've been down on myself and really struggled to push my intention to feel powerful, or resilient. Because of this, I doubt the spell will manifest. My heart wasn't in it, and I suppose I couldn't imagine myself feeling that way. Is it possible to cast a successful spell if you can't imagine how it will manifest? Maybe I am using the wrong type of spell.
Sending lots of love and good wishes to you all <3
My heart goes out to you. As someone who has spent many years suffering from depression and alot of self hate I have had the same concern come up a lot.
I'm just now returning to the craft after healing from my depression (changed my diet and now I'm off all medication) so I don't have much first hand experience on solving the problem but I do have some ideas and theories now that I'm thinking clearly.
First wait... Mental issues usually come in waves and fazes, wait for a peek if possible to make the next bit easyer.
Try using memory and hope to power the intention.
For memory... Think Harry Potter potronus, pull from a happy confident memory or hope and use that to power yourself and your spell. Emotions and memories are energy and can be used to power a spell as much as force of will.
For hope... Still write/say anything as if you already have it! But pull the energy from your hope and desire for more confidence and happiness.
Using these energy sorces can be very emotional, don't be surprised if you cry with the want of it but it's also very powerful for that reason.

Next, take small steps. Use a spell to improve little by little. Don't expect, or try, to change overnight.
Lastly (probably should have been first but too late now...) Try attacking from a different angle. Break barriers and banish negativity or unwanted trates either first or in addition to somoning desired trates or outcomes.
Hope this helps a little... And sorry if the formating is weird in places, my phone did some funky stuff while I trued to type this...
