I've committed myself to doing what is best for me in my life but it wasn't until very recently that I realized how damaging I am to myself.

I've always been someone to take a lot of crap just so I didn't hurt anyone's feelings. I help everyone I know anyway I can even if it's the last thing I want to do just so I know they got the help they needed. I'm very often the person everyone takes advantage of...

Now, I'm kind of surprised about all of the bad things I think about myself. I almost feel like I am 2 people in the sense that half of me knows I'm a good person and yet another half of me thinks I'm not worth anything. What brought this to my attention is my sister asked me if I thought anyone at a bar we were at caught my eye and my response to her was "I take what I can get, I don't get to choose" Then my brain goes on overload with all the bad things I truly feel about myself... it's just so sad to me.

Has anyone made it through to the other side and positively changed there self perception?

My perception of myself changes with my mood.

I usually have an over inflated sense of worth...even with depression, I still think I am the bee's knees, but I do have those moments of self doubt where I don't believe I am worthy of all that I am. When that goes through my mind, I just have to focus on my good qualities, or even just on one good quality and let that rebuild me.
