What positive self image? My depression and anxiety started when I was too young to remember (an infant) and it is only in the past year (thanks to finally going into therapy with a super T) that I have been able to admit I have any value. Positive self image has to come from within us but it can be influenced by those around us who give us credit for a job well done. In my struggle to live and to learn that life can be fun and enjoyable and not always scary and dangerous I have also learned the I do certain things well and can now take credit for those things. As yet, I have not translated those things I do well into a positive image of WHO I am.
That is a good and important question, Myzen. Thank you.
