How do you work on it? I have no energy left to do the fake it till you make it thing.
I’ve never been a very confident person anyway but it’s getting ridiculous. So many things I want and/or need to do, and I’m like a rabbit in headlights convinced I’ll fail even at the fun stuff.
I’ve done SO much work on my mental health especially over the last year - autism-friendly therapy, a couple of courses, journaling, got my ADHD medicated, exercising, even losing a bit of weight. But now most of the time I’m paralysed by “I can’t do it” complete with several reasons why.
I think it is partly lockdown related - the irony is I even wrote a blog post about that very subject and haven’t been confident enough to post it.
Can anyone relate? Anyone been through this and got their self esteem back up from the floor?!
