Lately I’ve been feeling like I’m worthless. I don’t feel good about myself at all, like I’m a bad wife and mom and pet mom. I feel like I just don’t do enough.
I want to apply for a new job, but feel like no one would hire me except for minimum wage jobs that are desperate for employees and that have terrible, stressful environments.
I also feel like I’m not good enough at my current job. The managers and my coworkers are kind to me but I still feel just useless. They tell me what a great job I do but I don’t believe them. I feel like garbage.
I’m just so down. I do take an antidepressant and my pdoc doesn’t think raising the dose will help. But I don’t know that it’s a brain chemistry thing anyway. I probably really do need to become a better person. I just feel so terrible about myself.
Is the weather still poor where you live preventing you from doing one of your favorite hobby’s (hiking). Maybe the weather will be good soon and you can hike again and it could
Help
Thanks @Jonnybegood . I hike in all weather but had surgery on my ankle and haven’t been able to in a long time. I’ll try spending a little time outside today to see if it helps.
That makes two of us. Minus the ankle surgery part. I like to hike in the snow. People have called me Crazy but they’re crazy for always staying inside
I’m not sure hiking will make me feel better. It’s more about not feeling like I have value or that I’m worthy of love. I don’t really see how I can change that
Maybe you can change your feelings about yourself by writing in a notebook that you have value and that you are worthy of love. Or if your cellphone has voice notes you can say to yourself that you have value and that you are worthy of love. Or maybe you can borrow someone’s phone and leave yourself a voicemail saying that you have value and that you are worthy of love.
It’s very important to listen to your message everyday because over time your negative thoughts about yourself will be replaced by positive thoughts about yourself.
everyone deserves love…especially you…you have a hard time because you want to be better…baby steps…try complimenting and working out your questions in the mirror…helps me immensely.
Thank you , @Catman I’ll give it a try. I have a hard time saying nice things about myself so it’ll be challenging. I’ll start with something easy and believable like that you were kind to me.
Thank you so much for your kindness to me @jukebox I don’t feel like I deserve it. So I’m very grateful.
