Am I Ok or Not
I am in a situation where on any objective scale the world would say I am a loving, caring and selfless person. I have given my time and energy to help my family deal with a long term crisis. However, my depression/anxiety makes it hard to feel that I have any worth. I am much more comfortable being negative about myself.
My nightly challenge is to list what I did that day in a loving, caring and/or selfless way. Lots of nights It is hard to think of anything good even when I have been helping people during the day. I conveniently forget about good deeds. The hope is that some night the true reality of what I did that day will crack my negativity so I can see what is real. I have a sign next to my bed that reads “You are a kind, selfless and loving person”. Reading it sometimes jogs the memory and sometimes it does not.
