Useless towards myself

19 Replies

Feel like I help and advice so many people but myself I’m just getting worse and worse

It’s ridiculous.

Why don’t I help myself...

Why am I always making myself ill by crying so much every other day.

Can I just have one week please break from crying 😢 thats all.

I feel the same. I try to think of what advice I would give myself if I was on the other side. I cry a lot too. So we can cry together! It’s good to let your emotions out. Try to examine them and think about something small that might help.

I'm so sorry. I hate that for you! Your an amazing person on here and I feel like you do much good. So how can we turn that around for yourself? I personally have a hard time being nice to myself. I'm so hard on myself.

Sorry you’re having a hard day. Have you tried meditation? Has helped me calm my mind and see things as they really are.

So sorry you are having a bad time. Maybe looking into SAD, Seasonal Affective Disorder will provide an answer. It can really ramp up the depression symptoms in the winter.

I find that when I don't follow advice I give, it is because either I believe my situation is so unique the advice won't help me, or it takes too much energy to follow the advice. Either way, I end up feeling awful when I really don't need to. Now that I have identified the problem for me, I have to find a solution! Darn depression sure puts up a fight to stay in our lives, doesn't it?

Perhaps if you lay out what help you have given another in a situation similar to yours, you can find one that you can try. It doesn't have to be the 'best' advice, just something little that you thought would help another. Sometimes, just trying something definite can put you on the road out of your dark place.

Sending you light, joy and peace.

Hey sweetie how are you feeling today

I am so sorry you are feeling this way! Why is it so hard to have hope and believe the best for others but not for ourselves? We are our own worst enemies - unable to forgive ourselves and are critical. Please remember that you are loved and the same way you encourage others, we want to encourage you! Hugs!
