I don't know what to say. I'm just struggling. The thing is, it feels like the struggle has purpose...and if I wasn't struggling, I wouldn't be moving forward. So, there's that. But at the same time, there's all this internal judgment for struggling at all. For needing things. For needing people. For needing sleep. For needing a break. I dunno, for needing to pee.
I feel like other people function at such high levels and make it look so easy. I know I'm asking a lot of myself, but it doesn't feel easy. It's very difficult. Sigh...I just feel like I'm not doing things right. Or I'm insufficient. Or not smart enough. I don't know. I hate myself. Seesaw

Someone recently told me "you cannot judge yourself by what others do." It makes a lot of sense

One of the most helpful pieces of wisdom I ever heard is that when we look at other people and compare, we are comparing our insides to their outsides. Just because looks put together and happy, doesn't mean they are not struggling just like us.
I hope it gets better seesaw...

Seesaw,
You are so smart. I see you helping people all the time, not only offering great advice, but also taking the time to prepare well thought out, thorough answers. All while I know you’re awfully busy building your business. And fostering puppies...I’m sure I’m missing more. I know I don’t have that kind of energy. Maybe you’re just burned out? Are you asking too much of yourself? Have you taken some time to relax or do something fun lately?

I'm sorry you feel that way seesaw. I agree with the others that it's not good to compare yourself to other people. Just do the best you can.
