Self Worth

Ever since I got out of the mental health hospital several years ago, I’ve struggled with my self-worth. I struggle with thinking that I’m worthless, and unable to make good decisions on my own, and it causes me to be anxious constantly. I hate living like this and I want to change it, I just don’t know how to.

I feel for your struggles. It's something I still have to work at but I'm better than I was because of the constant work I put in.

I got to a point where I just didn't want to dislike myself anymore. I focused on my strengths instead. What did I enjoy? What was I good at? These could not be denied, not even by me..

All those negative voices in my head, this is wrong or you're silly or this, that or the other. I started fighting back..

Hey Brain, you don't know everything. I'm learning as I go, I'm constantly improving. I like that I'm striving to be better each day.

I'm not trying to be perfect. I'm acknowledging and embracing my flaws because that is who I am, but I'm also concentrating on my positives too..

You will get there :)

I feel the same the system does not always help. But some parts do. Use parts that do and find help elsewhere for parts that don’t.

I have read a-lot from what I can determine the medication helps. They may need feed back so be loud iun saying what happens to you. AI your symptoms and get suggestions AI makes lots if mistakes so ask it to argue with its self and check for mistakes. Then discuss with your doctor. They are busy so you need to talk.

My experience in UK was traumatic, it feels like *** being treated like animal. You are ill, mental incapable not worthy of freedom yet you want help typically not nasty. Yet going to place where you should get help that everyone should look for to be better, leaves you feeling powerless and you know others look down on you.

I want a world where people take slightly harmful doctors drugs rather than very harmful drink. Even tea and coffee which are good for you can be less useful than doctors drugs.

But the system does not work well. You need things other than doctors drugs and possibly some conversations out side. The hospital are cold perhaps find an older lady who will hugs you.

Sorry,

Charles
