I've been trying to deal with relationship issues the last couple of months. (I don't need relationship advice. I attempted counselling unsuccessfully which I've had threads about and got advice).
I'm feeling incredibly bad about myself. I have no idea where my own issues re depression, self esteem, unhappy childhood etc end and relationship problems start. I feel like I hate who I am. Weirdly I have lived like a happy person for many years but now it all feels fake.
Today I feel like it would help if I could cut out my past, if I didn't have reminders of how I felt growing up. If I didn't speak to my family. I know it would be a terrible thing to do to people who have no idea there is even a problem. I feel like it would help me to create some distance but I feel guilty about it. Can I justify low contact. Is this just depression making me selfish?
Long term i probably need to find another counsellor but I don't feel strong enough just yet.
