Boost self esteem and confidence?
How do you feel comfortable in your own skin?
What are some good ways to feel content with who you are?
Lately, I've been struggling with that more than usual and I sort of feel it tearing me apart inside? I tend to question everything about myself and I feel some sort of anxiety building up the more i think of it. I can't sleep comfortably sometimes because these thoughts race in my mind.. I've struggled with low self esteem for so long, I just want to feel good about myself and be proud of who I am. I spend so much time alone at home, and it's quiet to the point where some of these thoughts become so loud that I can't bear it. I want to cry but I don't. I also don't know who to turn to when my emotions get out of hand. It feels like there isn't anyone to listen but of course I know that's not true.. but I don't know how to ask for help.
I need to vent because I bottle up my emotions, I'm afraid to be judged. Im afraid that no one will understand. Being a mother now, I can't give in to these dark feelings because I have a sweet beautiful baby who looks at me with such pure innocence, happy and blissful as can be. I wish I could be like her.. but where do I start?
What do you guys do to get yourself out of the cycle of negative thinking and such?
I'm sorry to be a downer, I want to so badly to improve the way I think of myself, and become a better person and spread that positivity. I need reassurance. Thank you for letting me express a piece of what I been feeling. It gets so overwhelming and I guess writing out my frustration with it helps a bit. I need the advice.
i have a lot that needs to change in my life.
In a way it's how i ask for help without really getting into too much detail if that makes sense?
lol idk, i'm strange i guess xD
This may not be for you, but having someone who you can trust yourself with and let relax you, and just focus on each other for awhile, might help. As one route...I'm a pet to someone who helped me not hate myself and quell certain thoughts. (This isn't the typical pet thing you see on this site, as it's more about support and being able to let the thoughts and stress go, and just have reassurance that someone cares.)
the happy lights too may help a ton since ive been feeling winter blues as well.
and i agree, having those to lean on and having that reassurance is a big thing for me.
I'm glad there are so many lovely people on here offering to help in any way they can, it's amazing!
no matter how small the goal is, it always feels good to finish x3
i know i guess it has to do with me not being where i want to be at my age, but it doesn't entirely mean that i should give up so easily right?
have you try personality test?
