Self Worth

I’ve been struggling a bit with my anxiety which some times leads up to thoughts about my self worth


It started with expectations that i’ve put on myself thinking i’ll be a disappointment to my family which then leads to thinking i don’t deserve the support and love i get from my family


Deep down i know that they love and support me unconditionally but sometimes i struggle with knowing what i’ve done to deserve it, my parents have been nothing but supportive and helpful with me which makes me feel like i don’t deserve it


All these emotions and feelings have been causing me to breakdown at the most random times yet, i’m afraid to go to school, to have lunch with my friends and i know i need help but i’m scared about what others might think of me as well


Has anyone else experienced this before and how did you manage to overcome these thoughts of unworthiness?

@toughScarf4523 Yeah, sorry you’re facing this. But your parents didn’t take care of you as a baby because you “deserved” it. Decide right now that you’re a human being with just as much right to be on this planet as anyone else. Throw away the measuring sticks you’re using to compare yourself with others or with some ideal person because that is all arbitrary b.s.  

Life has many different stresses. Don’t let your mind conjure up unneeded ones. Relax. Be you.
