This is me - but I have never been able to express it until I read this thread. This is just exactly how I feel all the time. What should I do? Should I bring this up directly with her? I don't think she can handle this. She keeps giving me stupid homework about how I feel about myself then this week I have to list reasons I know I am kind because.... I know i am competent because.... I know I am friendly because.... But I know I am none of these things. Well, I know I probably am a bit but I can't bear to hear my voice, see myself in photos - I HATE MYSELF SO MUCH and I am terrified that any little thing anyone says is rejection.
