i totally understand that... i do that too
i dont care so much about myself as much as i do others for some reason...
caring for others gives me a sense of purpose, being needed by others gives me sense of strength...

but its not a bad thing to accept that something is going on with us... i've been trying to come to terms with my own hardships... accepting is part of recovery i think...
its not really accepting that you are weak, or that you are less than.. is just that we struggle with these things that some people dont...

you are not weak... and you dont really have a flaw so to speak... even though it feels like it... its just something that we have to fight with...
it doesnt make you a bad person... you are a really cool person i think... it just happens that we struggle with these inner demons as i usually call them for lack of better terms....

if your boyfriend loves you and you guys are good together... and he wants to help you as much as he can... dont feel bad about it... if you guilt yourself then it will make things worse... you know?

its easy to feel like a burden.... but we just have to try the best we can... and as long as we are doing our best we shouldnt feel like a burden... and i know you are doing really well, with everything on your plate, going to work... getting out of bed... these small things are super accomplishments, you deserve to treat yourself for each small thing that you achieve, because its the small things that help us get to the bigger things... we have to start off with small steps before we can take bigger steps...

dont think about those douchbag jerks that treatedyou like that... they didnt know what they had, clearly your bf now does know how beautiful of a person you really are, and he wants to help you see it too
