hi! yes, you're right! we must feel comfortable with ourselves first. maybe we just cared so much about what others might tell and think about us. we have to look for things that would make us feel good and we have to make the move toward our own satisfaction...
saying these things already makes me feel really good!
i had gone through several sessions with a psychiatrist before. i stopped coz it was too expensive for me. i'm just trying to engage myself in self-therapy by reading anything about what i'm actually struggling eversince elementary, even though i'm not quite sure if i'm doing the right thing. i'm still in my postgraduate course, and it's not easy for me. what makes me move on is the hope that others will understand what i'm going through emotionally. but i know not everyone will. That makes me feel uncomfortable too.
i don't want anymore to depend too much but i worry that i wouldn't know how to control my life...
