It feels like I can’t do anything right, say anything right.

((((((((((((( ❤️ brokenlight ❤️ ))))))))))))) So sorry. So are others treating you like you aren’t doing/saying anything right or is this how you perceive yourself? Either way you need a break from it.

You are amazing. Remind yourself how amazing you are by treating yourself well. What is it you need right now and make it happen. Think of things you like about yourself. You really are likable and lovable.

Thank you so much for your response Starrlight! It means the world in this moment...

It’s both. And you’re right, I 1000% need a break from it. I’m soul-level exhausted.

Thank you for these reminders 💙

I keep trying to remind myself of my greatness, but it doesn’t stick.

Which makes me even more frustrated because I don’t want to let others affect me so greatly. It’s the worst.

How about ‘I am enough’. ‘I am exactly who I need to be.’

But to be very honest... when I repeat mantras like that, they feel like I’m lying to myself.

That’s why they’re mantras. You repeat until you feel it. Emotions can lie.

I hear ya I often feel I let others affect me too much but I guess that’s great that we know it, having the insight can help us start to change that.

Yeah doesn’t always stick but the more positive we feed ourselves the better eventually.

I hope writing it out has helped and keep doing whatever helps. I’m here for you, we all are.

Just thinking ya know what WE think the truth is about ourselves is important not what others might think and it’s easier to control what we think...just 🤔 thinking

So true. And I know this. But I get caught up & eventually lost... brought back to the excruciating pain of never feeling enough.

Self love practice helps but I can’t make it a consistent thing.

Thank you for your responses today.

Being able to express myself here & to find support is amazing.

I hope you are well ✨

Don’t feel bad I’m the same way, can’t seem to make self love constant. Well do our best.

Keep expressing yourself. You’re doing great!

How are you doing today Brokenlight? I just came from the doc. Asthma and bronchitis. Woohoo 😉 I have so much to do today as it’s my 12 year old’s birthday party...but this stuff is kicking my butt! I’ll have to give orders so it’s not all me doing the work.

Awww I’m so soooo sorry, beautiful. Do you want to talk more about it?

I’m anxious about some renewal for my kids medical insurance ... they keep messing up so i get scared but I’m working on it and did all I can for now so trying to chill. It’s so hard to chill before things are worked out but it does me no good to sit here worrying.
