Why do I keep feeling so worthless and how can I stop feeling this way?

At some point in your life you stopped believing in Santa Claus.... Maybe someone told you he wasn't real. Something stopped you believing in him..... This would have occurred with you too. At some point someone told you that it wasn't ok to love yourself or believe in yourself and they probably were nasty enough to give you reasons why too. WELL! Either start believing in Santa again or believe in someone even more special.... you!

We generally feel worthless because we plan a lot and do very little. Most of us have great plans for ourselves but when it comes to taking action, that's where we falter. We can stop feeling worthless by actually taking a step towards achieving our goals. No matter how small the step may be, the first step is the most vital one. It gives us a sense of achievement which will then be the motivating factor for our future steps. I faced this issue of feeling worthless recently and I tackled it well. I created an online spreadsheet and gave the link to my close friends. I then began to put in my monthly goals and daily tasks into it. I updated it regularly so that it can help me monitor my progress. The fact that my friend had the link made me work harder because I felt more responsible. I would like to end this by borrowing a quote from the Joker in batman. "Happiness is like gravity, All it takes is a little push in the right direction."

You are not worthless, remember that always. There is nothing that is worthless, everything has worth, everything has a purpose, everything has value. You can do amazing things, you have qualities that nobody else has you just need to be able to see the beauty in yourself; once you see your own beauty you will find your worth, you will know how special you really are, and you are special I know it

Feeling worthless can stem from many different places. Finding the source of your sense of worthlessness is often a great first step. Talking to others about it, and finding those who understand what you are feeling can also have a tremendous impact on your struggle. Learning to value yourself is something that takes time, and active effort. It is not going to happen overnight, but with persist-ency, it is entirely possible. You have to wake up every day- telling yourself that you are worth it. You have to take care of yourself, as you would someone in need, to prove to yourself that you are worth the time and care. You have to stop yourself when you begin to criticize yourself and what you do. You are doing amazing things, every second of every day, without even realizing it... Realize it, and congratulate yourself. You are breathing, you are moving, you are trying, you are affecting those around you in a positive way. Me reminding you of these truths won't fix you, but telling yourself these truths, and eventually believing them, will make you see your self-worth.
