Depression and lonely
I am feeling empty most of the time and making me have low self esteem and thoughts of unworthy.
@conscientiousPineapple3297 - Hello, hun β€οΈ I can relate to these feelings so much. Life can feel really dull when we lose pleasure in things and we lack a feeling of human connection π. When I feel this way, I try and remind myself I am not my body, my achievements, or my possessions. I try and think of and write down any skill or positive quality I have that I can think of... (I can spell OK, show others empathy, drive a car, pay bills on time, show respect (or whatever lol) (don't think all or nothing... Even if you do those things well sometimes, that's still a win lol). Belief systems we were taught when we were young can have a big impact on our present moments and sometimes we need to start replacing these with more helpful thoughts like, "Each day I do the best I can" "This situation sucks but it's only temporary". "These are just my feelings right now and eventually they'll go away". "This too shall pass" Just taking little tiny steps each day can help the mood pass. Trying to do things you used to enjoy until you feel better can also help. I hope you feel better soon and find a spark of joy again. You're worthy!! πβ€οΈ
