I doubt the depth of my issues sometimes too. I ask my self if what I went through was really that bad. The problem is that we are judging ourselves and our issues against other people. Our scars are our scars. It does not matter how they got there.
Do I feel like a failure (even though I am successful)?
Do I hate myself (even though my family loves me)?
Am I fearful of everyone (even though most people like me)?
These and many others are true. Was my past bad? Maybe not compared to yours or others. But it was bad enough for me to feel bad about myself and have emotional flashbacks.
I have forced myself to stay in therapy, meditate, and read a ton of books. I am going to improve and feel more joy and emotion. I hope you are going to join me for this adventure.
