Do ever just get in your head to the point of feeling worthless? I do, and have for a very long time. I try and I try to make sure I am making everyone happy, and doing what is expected of me, and trying to go above and beyond like I would want people to do for me. From my point of view it always comes off as unappreciated, unnoticed, and wrong. I am sure I can’t be the only one. Maybe I am not seeing it correctly and maybe my actions are appreciated and noticed and right, but based off what I’ve observed I’d never know it. I can’t help but get in my head and start thinking anything and everything I’ve ever done was wrong. I end up feeling like a worthless waste of space.

That is when I am in one my darkest places. And I am sure you know what it is like to have the same feeling or be in a similar dark place. When you get in one of these head spaces I want you to do whatever helps you calm down and clear your mind. For me I like to sit in my own bubble with headphones on and just let my music wash over me. Like the lyrics are validating how I feel, but at the same time letting me know I am not worthless. After you clear your mind, look at yourself in the mirror or even just say it out loud in an empty area, but tell yourself that you are amazing. Tell yourself that you are worth it, and a good person. Basically, tell yourself all of the things you would tell your best friend going through the same situation.

I know it’s hard to do and it’s hard to hear sometimes. Deep down you know that it’s all true. You are worth it and you always will be. Don’t let anyone bring you down including yourself. And in case you are not ready to hear it from yourself, hear it from me. You are worth it, you are amazing, you are a good person, and you belong here.
