Hi!
What methods do you mean? How to go to the next page?
Methods to overcome the abundance of self doubt
One day last week I texted my daughter the following quote on ***: “Waiting is what U do when the situation is out of your control.” I think that anxiety is basically, an “out of control” feeling that is extremely frightening. And waiting for the anxiety to subside can compound the problem. I guess the key to dealing with anxiety is not waiting but planning and then doing.

Heyy! I completely understand what you're going through. But something important to remember is that social media usually shows people’s highlights, not the full picture. You’re comparing your everyday struggles and doubts to someone else’s best moments. That comparison can make you feel like you’re failing when you’re actually just at your own pace.
A few things that I think might help:
1. Try reducing the time you spend looking at content that makes you feel worse. It’s okay to protect your peace.
2. Focus on small progress instead of comparing yourself to where others are.
3. Write down things you’ve handled or achieved, even if they seem small. Sometimes we forget how much we’ve grown because we’re only looking at what we haven’t done yet.
4. When family criticism affects you, try separating their opinions from your self-worth. Someone being disappointed in you doesn’t automatically mean you’re disappointing
I hope this helps!
