Tabithacat

I didn't realise how low my self esteem is until the other night when my A gave me a quiz thing to fill, 'big pats'. It was really hard! I felt like I was cheating if I answered any of them!
I was always the actress when I was younger, and it was a fun exciting thing to be... how has it become so backwards that I use it against myself now?! What happened?!
I'm confused, I'm not sure what's me and what's me pretending.

I think that's why the first step in our recovery is focusing on ourselves a bit. If we pamper ourselves with little treats...a bubble bath, a new haircut, etc. we start to remember that we do matter. I think it helps us to start caring for and about ourselves again. And that can help rebuild that self esteem. We get so lost in our codependency. Just remember that you are truly worth getting to know again and the real you is a wonderful, loving person!! Hugs
