Everyone else is guilty of existing, so don’t worry about it.

Maybe that is a symptom of depression? I have to take meds for depression and anxiety too. They really help with bad feelings.

I felt like that from childhood up into my 30s.
I still have low self esteem but it isn’t quite as bad.

Don’t feel guilty about your situation! It’s really not your fault that you’re ill and require assistance

It does sound partly like depression. I have found that therapy has also helped me push back against negative feelings.

Therapy, hmmmm yes, I can probably benefit a lot from that.

Therapy workbooks are also helpful and I work my way through them weekly. I can recommend some if you like.

Yes, definitely, please, all that you can I really need it!
I put myself in a win-win situation. If I fully recover I win and if I stay disabled and on benefits for the rest of my life I win. I found a way to love myself and enjoy myself in either situation or anything in between or anything worse.
