I need scientific cawntex, please.
Is this a symptom of past trauma? Is this connected to complexes around self worth?
Spam me please.
Long answer: It just goes to show that you can't beat an internal problem with external validation, no matter how convincing it would be to the average onlooker. If your self-image/self-worth is low, you have to challenge that assumption internally first. Our (often skewed) perception is way more convincing than it should be.
Short answer: don't try to evaluate your life when sleepy
Yeah some times I get in a kind of way and my friends will be super kind and supportive to me. It helps for a bit but then I go right back to it. Perpetuates the guilt of why I don't think I'm a good person to them because I always end up back to the bad place, which feels like a burden to others.
I'm super anxious about it, but for the first time in my life I'm trying out an SSRI. So we'll see.
