I am feeling very unwanted, unneeded and unworthy of anything and anyone. I can always be replaced, at least that is how I am feeling- someone else can be a mom to my kids, someone else can do my job, someone else can clean my house, etc- this is not a suidical thing by any means- I am just feeling really low about things in general. Someone can always do it better than I can.

You see how it is subtle: sometimes somebody does something better than you (it happens) and you overgeneralize that you can be replaced in everything. Yes It is smart. But if you are careful (and with some wise advice ) you can keep it at bay.

I'm sending you a card in hopes to cheer you.

No one can take your place, mothers are very important but it is a 24/7 job with little to show for it, but there is love and you are the best thing, and no one can do it better than you.

To all special mom's!

Nobody can, or will replace you and the role you play here or your role in life.

You are wanted.
You are needed.
You are worthy.

I feel you hon. I hope some of the pressures that are keeping you down have lessened by now. It's tough being a mom.

Hello Purple. I am sorry you are feeling this way at this time. No one will ever replace you with your children. Depression is such a debilitating issue at times, that can bring the most secure person to a minimum. PLEASE call your therapist and get the help you need at this time, so hopefully you can feel better sooner. Take care of yourself. (((PURPLE))). PM anytime. Soidhonia

I know the feeling exactly. I can't say it will go away soon but it can be survived and endured until it does go away. The people you talk about really do need you in their lives even if they're not good at showing it. Our culture is good at telling people exactly that; 'you are not valuable unless you buy X product.' Consider limiting your exposure to advertising since it's there to make you feel bad.

Good luck with that.

I would suggest reading Affirmations through out the day! I notice a change in my thoughts!

I love myself exactly as I am, I no longer wait to be perfect in order to love myself.
Filling my mind with pleasant thoughts is the quickest road to health.
I am loved and accepted exactly as I am, right here and right now.

Thinking the Best for You, Luv Ya!

Hi PurpleButterfly, when you say that you feel unwanted and unworthy this sounds like you might have some low self-worth? I have been there and done that. I have recovered from anxiety and low self-worth was a component of my problem. We get low self-worth when we are growing up. What I did was figure out what messages that I was receiving while I was growing up that would give me this low self-worth. Once I did that I was able to realize that these messages came from people with so many problems themselves and that their messages were not an accurate reflection of me but a reflection of themselves! With this knowledge I was then able to replace my self-worth with a more accurate level of my real value and not one that was assigned to me from someone who didn't have the right or the ability to do so.

When you say that you feel unneeded, well many of us get that way because we think that our only value is what we can do for others because basically this was also how we were raised - meeting the needs of others and not our own needs. I learned how to meet my own needs and cut down on meeting so many needs of others (sometimes it's appropriate and other times it isn't).
