Does anyone else relate to this. I have always felt like this, in work and I have a professional type job I always compare myself to others and think they are so competent, intelligent, capable, say the right thing, even their hair is shinier if you you know what I mean! Then I have baby a year ago and these feelings magnify 110%.
I now compare myself to every other mother out there who I know as I do get out and about a lot and they all seem so capable and confident and never forget anything. Every mother I know is 'better than me'. Despite this rationally I know I have a lovely healthy happy baby who I know loves me. I am also happily married. What is wrong with me! I wouldn't say I am depressed but I do suffer from anxiety. How do I stop comparing and even if I do stop caring? Anyone else feel like this? It drives me mad and takes a lot of happiness away from my life. Tomorrow we have a party to go to and I know I will be feeling inadequate again.
