Not Good Enough

My 8 year relationship ended about 2 or 3 weeks ago - not by my choice. Tonight has been a struggle for me. I’m starting to feel not good enough. Like who will ever love someone like me. It’s hard enough having anxiety & low self-esteem. I just feel complete worthless right now. I just want to give up on myself & stop caring.

Oh dear Fall1224, never put yourself in that position of feeling unworthy of

someone's love. It's not you. It's their loss and not yours. People come into our

lives for a reason and that time might be limited. But know that we can learn from

our life's experiences. Never easy to take I know but never allow it to lower your

self esteem. Never stop caring about yourself. You are the most important person

in the world. Know that, feel that. Anxiety or not, you are lovable. :) xx

A breakup will obviously test you to your limits especially if you already felt not great. Please hang in there and don't doubt yourself so much. Each time you get knocked down you can get back up stronger x and we are here to listen x

It's all about never allowing anyone to put us down.

No one deserves that treatment. :) xx

Now I’m just so angry at him, at me. So many emotions. It’s so draining!

You just feel any way that you need to feel. You have every right to feel any emotion that arises. It must be draining... that's a good word.

I hope it doesn't sound overly clichéd... but I like the mantra, "The only way out, is through."

We may find that we are stronger on the other side.

You are ENOUGH just as you are. I too struggle with low-esteem also. It's very painful to your very core when you feel like your not enough and unloved by others. If we are honest, we don't even love ourselves. There is One who says you are the apple of His eye, that He will never leave or forsake you and loves you unconditionally. He says you are ENOUGH just come as you are (Warts and all 😊). I also know you are ENOUGH because I am too.
