One thing I've learned from years of T, and I hope I can explain this well...

Every person is born with worth. Every person has worth. Nothing we do or say will take away that worth, no matter how it feels. We have the same amount of worth throughout our entire lives.

When we feel as if we are not worth help, that is just our brains trying to convince us to not get help, because our brain does not want to lose. It is a battle.

Whether it is depression or bipolar or PTSD or anything else, it is a battle. And we need to go into that battle with as many people fighting with us as we can. That includes our friends, family and our treatment team. There will be times when we are unable to fight, and that is when the others with us take over, and fight for us for a bit.

Something that is said in 12 step programs is "we will love you until you can love yourself." It's the same idea, let the doctors and your T help you. Right now, it may not seem like you are worth being helped, but I promise you, to them, you are.
