Hi
I'm drowning
My depression is at a high.. anxiety thru the roof. Lifes a mess.
My therapist today told me I need to do more for myself and less for others. I have that caretaker mentality to ignore and neglect myself. I consume my free time with doing for others. If I'm doing crafts the end result is usually for someone else. I live for everyone else. But that's how I survive. I hate myself so much that I cant be left alone with just me. I would never put the effort into myself as I would for another. No self worth. No nothing. Idk what to do
sounds to me you should be very proud of yourself. ignore your therapist he or she is wrong. your doing the right thing sort of. there is a rule God wants us to live by, Treat others the way you want to be treated. your doing that but your missing one thing your not treating yourself the way you should be treating you. YOU cant truly love others if you dont love your self so your sort of missing the rule a bit. others cant truly love you either if you dont love you. so to live truly by Gods rule you need to except yourself whom you are and start loving yourself THEN you will be full filling God's rule of loving thy nieghbor as thy self. Your a kind person you love others you help them , whats there not to love about that? don't be so hard on your self be as kind to you as you are to others and you will be just fine. Trust me.
