I’m sorry Fuzzybear. When I feel depressed I also feel like failure and the chatter in my head doesn’t help. It does help me to examine the evidence of my failure to expand my thoughts. For example, I feel like a failure because my daughter got kicked out of nursing school and is living with a terrible boyfriend. Bad mom, right? Failure. Expand the narrative. My daughter came to me first about nursing school. She took my advice on what to do. She calls me every day. Last week she bought me lunch. She works full-time. There is some positive in my story. And if you can’t see the positive right now, it’s not your fault. People make choices for a lot of reasons.
You’re a good egg.
