I constantly do this. Negative self-talk. "You are old". "You are late". "You are not achieved". "You are a joke". "You are a failure". "You are a shame". And when I try to do something to build my self-esteem again, the negative self-talk brings me down. I wish I knew how I can overcome this vicious cycle. I know there is no magic solution, but I just cannot bring myself to do anything. I am unemployed now and all I have tried to achieve was for nothing, and I will probably end up homeless in few months. It's all in my mind. My mind is against me. My mind is my worst enemy.
