Then I get filled with guilt for things that have already happened.
Its the mistakes Ive made or could have made or how someone might have perceived something.
Its doubting my relationships and friendships and analyzing it in such detail that something has to be wrong.
Anxiety tells me I will fail.
Anxiety tries to convince me my efforts dont matter and the result of this is striving for perfection.
Its striving to be the best at something.
Its striving to be someone people remember.
Its striving to be the hardest working person in every room I walk into.
But even at my best, I am never good enough for myself.
The sad part is during anxiety attacks; I believe it.
The phrases that run through my mind during these dark moments sound like, no one likes you.
You are a burden to those you love.
You are too sensitive.
You are a lot of handle.
People feel bad for you.
You are broken Something is wrong with you.
You will never be enough so keep trying.
Everyone is going to leave.
You are going to fail.
Its heartbreaking trying to navigate through so much self-doubt that exists entirely in my mind.
But anxiety is a constant battle of countering the self-doubt that lives within you.
take a stab at use positive affirmations and repeating what your truth is.
Try remembering how much good is within you, and that is what people see.
Remember, not everything you tell yourself is the truth.
Because these are the things that are true about you, you are someone who cares and loves deeply.
You are someone who tries so hard, and it is enough.
You are pretty enough.
You are smart enough.
You are successful enough.
