I've been so anxious I thought I'd withdraw from the course and the anxiety would go away but it doesn't. I'm just scared that I am not good enough that I have no talents that I'm unable to do things. I'm uncomfortable because I don't feel deserving of any job out there that it would be a waste of time to train me. The truth is I can keep studying all I want but if I don't think I'm smart enough, talented enough than what do I do. My mum's words have stuck in my head what if I'm not good enough for this world for friends etc. Right now I don't see any good in anyone don't believe that anyone wishes me well.

Here's the thing: you may not be good enough to be a master of whatever you choose right off the bat, make no mistakes, and be praised at each task. You may not even be good enough to feel competent. Right now, however, is the least amount of knowledge, skill, and experience you will have, and as long as you give it a go, those assets will increase.

Feelings are not facts. Ignore the feelings and just get on with it.

It IS hard to believe good of yourself if your own mother doesn't. Since my mother died, i have had dreams where i am screaming at her, which i never did in real life, because she would have literally killed me.

And every year now, every dream, those screams become less intense. I think that means i'm healing. But its a lot to heal from. Its really not easy.

I agree, it is hard to believe good things about yourself if your own mother doesn't It's a very hard thing to heal from, the healing for ANYONE would be slow. And that's about the dysfunctional mother causing so much trauma. NOT ABOUT US. She said ''**** happens''. How cruel and stupid.
