My emotions and words are always the wrong ones, and I am constantly screwing up, in my mind. I feel and think that everything I do is wrong. My ex husband who is a narcissist also made me feel this way.

It's been especially bad ever since my boss's boss gave me a laundry list of things to improve and work on, without any positives. I had to even ask her, do you have any positive feedback?

I have been really down on myself ever since then.

I don't know how to undo this. How do you change something that you're so conditioned by?
I been there myself try writing down what is in your control and what isn’t in your control then write down the negative thoughts are and change the thoughts into positive.

This life will be good and beautiful, but not without heartbreak.

In death come peace. But pain is the cost of living.

Like love, it's how we know we're alive.

And life goes on.
