My self worth has always been variable. It’s easy to see it when I’m well and hard to see when I’m depressed. Working, helping others and accomplishing other tasks helps me, as does affirmations from others.

It is said an Eastern monarch once charged his wise men to invent him a sentence, to be ever in view, and which should be true and appropriate in all times and situations. They presented him the words: "And this, too, shall pass away." How much it expresses! How chastening in the hour of pride! How consoling in the depths of affliction!
