It's Kinda My fault
I have always struggled with taking care of myself, wheter it be sleeping or just simple things like drinking and eating. It used to be forgetful, but now its just out of carelessness. I recently started dating someone, and they started noticing the skipping of meals, and my ever present self-deprecating humor. They are for a good reason concerned, but to be honest I don't know how to explain how I am without feeling defensive of my poor opinions of my self-worth.
To add on, this relationship is a secret from my mother(I'm a teenager) because she didn't really react all that well when I came out as gender-fluid.
Just some advice would be nice I suppouse?
Hi there!
I don't really have a good view of my life so I am careless of myself like you explained. I think having someone close might help, but there is no one at the moment. I feel you.
Remember that loved ones are meant to support you too and be there for you in the darkest times. Of course she is concered about how you feel and cares about you. I'm sure she will understand, but be open and talk with her. Besides, she could be the reason to see things in a different light.
If it helps, I found this post on self esteem last week but struggling to work on it https://www.7cups.com/forum/BipolarSupport_63/BipolarManagement_241/10WaystoRepairYourSelfEsteem_203120/
