I completely understand the feeling but it does get better. Sometimes u get better then u have a dip and feel horrible. What helps me is the idea to not try and grasp towards or be attached to needing to feel good or running away from what feels badā¦instead sit back and observe the feelings of hopelessness, being lost, and discomfort and say to yourself āeven if I have these feelings and thoughts for the rest of my lifeā¦.ITāS OKAYā just sit back observe good or bad

Iāve been asking myself the exact same question for the past year but I know that you will overcome this. It just takes time. Youāre not alone in this.

I really hate telling my mom that I'm insecure because she just looks at me super annoyed and is like "I don't know why". Like one time I said I wanted to start working out because I hate how skinny I am and she looked at me like I was trying to fish for compliments or something and I feel like I have to defend myself and I cant talk about it. I feel like I always hate my body and any time I try to do something to fix that I regret it so so much. I was just telling her the other day how i hate myself so much I want to crawl out of my skin and she kind of just told me to work on it but I don't know how?? Ive never loved myself. Ever. I have no clue how to. The only reason I'm not doing worse to myself is because I'll get in trouble. I hate my mind and my body and lately it's been so so bad I can't look at myself without feeling nauseated. The last few months it's just gotten worse and worse I feel like. Any time I try to fix how I look I feel like I don't deserve to feel comfortable in my own skin. I feel like a lost cause at this point. I don't know if I'm ever gonna be fixed.

I genuinely can't help but feel irredeemable over every little mistake made or regret I've had. It's so up and down, but I just miss the certainty. Knowing "this is who I am." I'm so disconnected from myself. Like, I'm really, really trying. Today is really rough... I got triggered the other night, and it's been hell since. I've been fighting seeking reassurance. I want it so, so incredibly bad, but I know it won't help me :( Some days, I just don't want to be here. It's funny because yesterday I felt amazing until I got triggered. I just immediately spiraled after that. I don't know. Does it genuinely get better? Will therapy really help me? Sometimes, I think maybe this is the best it'll get, and that scares me. Sorry for the vent. I'm just feeling so overwhelmingly anxious right now. I can't even cry (due to Zoloft). It feels claustrophobic somehow, having all these emotions trapped inside of my body with nowhere to go š

I apologize I post here a lot lol. I have a few questions/I want to vent about this. My therapist and I have identified one of the triggers Iāve been trying to work on, which is my fear of never being good enough; for myself, my family, my friends, for my romantic relationships, and just in general. Honestly, I hate myself so much. Not for any reason in particular, but I overanalyze everything I do and let it consume me. I know this is normal for most people, and everyone goes through bouts of self depreciation and lack of self love. Iām trying to give my love to myself that Iāve always given to other people and itās so difficult. Itās really funny, I need male validation even though I feel like I can never trust a man ever again. I was broken up with at the beginning of April, and so you can imagine how my self worth really has been feeling. Iām aware my self worth isnāt based on other peopleās perception of me, but I just want to be loved consistently through my ocd and adhd. It feels like itās too much for people, while I simultaneously feel like Iām making this a massive deal. I donāt want to get into another relationship ever again, I just think Iām too weird for most men or theyāll take advantage of me for something again. I think if a man is nice to me, it means thereās an ulterior motive or a catch. Thereās genuinely no way someone even cares as much about me as I do them, itās always one sided. I love my friends, Iām taking about relationships wise. Not to mention, I hate the way I look and act. When I think Iām somewhat decent looking, thereās always a post to pop up with this stunningly beautiful girl. I can never catch up with modern beauty standards. I hate this so so so much. I hate feeling this way, how do I make this all stop?
