That's a hard skill to learn.
Don't be ashamed that you are setting what seem like unworthy tasks to start with. It truly does not matter how you get there. What matters is lifelong growth and improvement, with the inevitable set-backs.
Shame is so hard to alleviate. But you are trying. That is worthy in itself.
Hang in there. Keep trying different things.

I feel it’s getting almost impossible to “keep trying”. How do you do it? Is it just to find a little positive thing each day, is that enough? I just feel the longer I stay like this the worse and more hopeless I feel. I remember having really bad anxiety early in the morning in the summer 2 years ago. And here I am again feeling it again, the terrible anxiety waking me up. That’s why I’m ashamed, I keep being like this. Do you ever think it’s ok to do yourself in? Does there ever come a time do you think?
