Trying but failing

[loveandlightseeker]

There are so many suffering out there that I feel guilty about my complaints. I feel guilty that I’m overwhelmed with sadness and hurt and can’t seem to stop it no matter how hard I try. I’m trying so hard to break the negative thought patterns but I’m losing the battle. Forcing myself to be excited about life but underneath I don’t love myself and feel I’ve failed everyone and I can’t control it. I’ve confessed my sins, committed to change but it’s so hard to turn this off. How do we start to truly love ourselves?

I hope everyone has a beautiful day.

Thank you for sharing, and it seems you are trying to better yourself. Perhaps try doing a Google search and see if you can read the following article:

"The Secret to Forgiving Yourself" Erin Pavlina

Do take things one step at a time.

Your post sounds like I wrote it myself. I empathize with all you said. I was especially feeling guilty after reading fauxartist’s post just now, because I had the opposite for a mother (and father) , but my despair and inner turmoil is undeniable and is making it too hard to continue.

I’m so sorry you feel this way, I’m right there with you. Oddly, I just read what you posted about hanging on for Your children and it brought tears to my eyes. I also have a beautiful child that loves me and I’m trying so very hard to be strong for. It adds to the emotions of guilt,because they don’t deserve this you know? There is light at the end of this I know. Just wish it wasn’t so hard to see right now. I will keep you and all the others suffering today in my prayers. Thanks for your kind words!

Thank you for feeling brave enough to post. I read that you had confessed your sins...so I take it you are a believer. Do you know just how much you are loved and valued by your Creator? I would love to talk with you more about that...and get some resources your way if you are interested. Nothing goes unnoticed by Him, and He sees your suffering.

You are loved!

Than you @tlf777 I truly appreciate your words and needed that this morning more than you know.

You already love yourself. The fact that you’re here and trying to get help is proof of that. You just hate the disease. Like we all do. Just be more gentle on yourself. It’s not you. It’s the illness that causes all of the things you feel guilty about. The more you realize that and accept that it’s the truth; the more you’ll want to fight the disease. Xo
