It doesn't always have to be like this. There can come a time when you don't feel worthless.

Are you seeing a therapist at all? Someone who can help you work through the trauma?

Yes. It can end.
For years and years and years I felt like I was the scum of the earth. I spent many of my school years too busy hating that I took up space / breathed / existed to even begin to think about doing school work. For many years I could not accept any kindness shown to me by anyone, because I felt I did not deserve it.

And now I feel none of those things, and I know I am as worthy as every single other human being on our dear earth. Keep working, you will get there.

At least for me there are good days and bad. For the most part I don't feel bad just angry and recently I was able to even let some of that go. Therapy definitely helped me work through the guilt and shame. Good luck to you.

God I hope so. Cause right now I feel like I just want to destroy myself. Melt all the flesh off of my bones.

I worked on my low self worth and improved it quite a bit. For me, I improved it in layers over the years. Every improvement was well appreciated!

Thanks, everybody. I think I just needed to hear that it does get better eventually. And realistically, I can see the incremental changes in myself. And, yeah, I am in therapy. And I do think it helps.

Sometimes I just get so tired of struggling...some people don't seem to have to struggle so much. I just want to be NORMAL. It exhausts me. I feel like I see-saw between thinking I'm fine and things are TOTALLY NORMAL and admitting to myself that things are completely weird.
