How do you get past this constant feeling?
I don't hate who I am, I mean, I'm a decent person who does good for others. I know I have some nice qualities but I still feel like in almost every area of life, I'm not good enough I always feel a day late and a dollar short to everything. It doesn't matter if people say "You are" because I just see it as being nice, It does not help me believe it at all. History has basically kept showing me I am not good enough. I'm not meant to be happy I'm tired of feeling this but it always comes up. Help |

I can relate
 For me, people in my childhood and early adulthood kept repeating that message, in a callous way, offering no positive suggestions or care  I also feel that I’m unlikely to be happy . Although I have been happy.. well bad things have happened (etc). I wish I had some positive suggestions. I hope this post isn’t completely “useless”.I’m sending my best hopes for you, I think this can be overcome (good therapy is one thing that can help, even though it can take a long time)  And posting here can help

I'm sorry I don't have any great suggestions for you here.
 Perhaps this is a matter of building self-esteem? Here are links to some articles, from PsychCentral's archives on the subject of how to do that:https://psychcentral.com/blog/6-tips...r-self-esteem/ https://psychcentral.com/lib/building-self-esteem/ https://blogs.psychcentral.com/menta...d-self-esteem/ https://psychcentral.com/lib/bluepri...-esteem/?all=1 https://psychcentral.com/blog/8-sugg...ve-depression/ https://psychcentral.com/blog/to-bui...f-to-be-proud/ https://psychcentral.com/blog/the-tr...lf-confidence/ https://psychcentral.com/blog/7-tips...keep-it-there/

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
