I feel that way about myself sometimes. Because I feel like I've been struggling a lot lately. So sometimes I just don't mention anything I've been dealing with to my doctor and I say everything is fine when they ask me how I'm doing and if they ask if I've had any bothersome symptoms I say no, even though I should be saying yes, which isn't helpful for me. It's just I have self esteem issues and feel like I'm bothering them with my issues. But that's what they're there for, to listen and help.

Thank you so much for this. This is exactly right. I’m still stuck in the mindset that I don’t deserve to feel better anyway. I don’t deserve time off, I don’t deserve to help myself. I don’t really matter. I live my life for what I can and must do for others but I have to start giving myself some slack and remembering that it’s ok to ask for a receive help.
I appreciate your response and I do hope you’re able to start feeling better soon as well!
