I can't hold down a job, can't sleep, don't do anything useful or productive. My mind is full of negative things about myself. I was never taught as a child that there were good things about myself, and I've never learned how to value myself. I feel so worthless 99% of the time, and I don't know how to stop it.

I'm so sorry you're feeling this way gloaming.

I go there with these thoughts sometimes and beat myself up. Not a good place to be in.

I'm currently unemployed and my sleep is whacked.

I'm sorry that as a child you never received positive affirmations that you, or all children, really do deserve. It can cause long term repercussions.

If you feel worthless 99% of the time, might I ask what it is that you can do 1% of the time where you don't feel this way?

I'm wondering what kind of support system you have in place. Who is there for you? We all need someone, even if it's a T that can help us through these issues.

I don't think that what you are feeling is necessarily a "forever" feeling. I think that there are some aspects you may be able to heal in with assistance.

Be well.

I don't have much of a support system. My boyfriend and ex-husband don't get it, and my T is so busy I only get to see her every three weeks. She wants to work on my self esteem, but it's hard when I so rarely see her.

When I'm on an upswing, everything feels great, but right now I'm about as down as you can get. It's hard to remember that this won't last. It's impossible to think of anything positive about myself.

Unfortunately this is one of the symptoms of depression. It sucks. I try tell myself this won't last forever but it's real hard when you're stuck in the moment

Best thing is when you are not depressed (or less depressed) make a list of good things about you. Then hang it up somewhere. Then when it hits hard you can look at the list. You probably won't believe the list but looking at it over and over is helpful. Depression is hard, and this is one symptom that's really hard to deal with.

I'm sorry you're having a hard time and come out of it soon.

That's a good idea. I also find a gratitude journal helps ....

I don't know, but I'm willing to bet it's not laying on the couch crying all day.

I can't think of a single good thing about myself. What's the point of going on?

Think of the people in your life.. whether they're supportive or not, there are many that love and care about you. There's always a point to living. I've often been stuck feeling this way, but please remember that you are cared about.

Do you enjoy anything, like movies, books, gaming, or colouring? My favourite thing to do is listen to music and just colour.. letting the good and the bad thoughts flow. Please feel free to message me and talk more gloamingone... we're all in this together!

Success is being the best that YOU can be, it's non judge mental and you don't compare it to what anyone else achieves.

Worth is learning to live the life that you truly deserve. Not the one that you think you deserve when you are depressed.

I woke up crying this morning. Bad sign. And my youngest is on Thanksgiving break, so I have him all day without help. He's a hyper little dude, so he can be a real handful. It's so hard to take care of him when I'm this depressed.

I love to do crafts, and I've really been trying, but after a few minutes I just wander away. I'm ashamed of myself for being so useless to everyone, especially my little boy. :-(
