This might be a slightly muddled post but I've suddenly realised that I don't trust my own judgement or knowledge anymore. I'm a reasonably intelligent, aware individual who holds a deceny job and can work things out....but when I want to do anything now I feel I have to look it up / check up / read how others do it etc. I've realised I do it A LOT and it's making me feel so....lost...confused....like I don't know anything. It's really odd - anyone else have this?
Silly things like, I put Google maps on even when I know where I'm going, I spend ages reading reviews for things to buy, I look up exercise routines even though I have some that I know work. And then repeatedly looking up things I have already looked up....what clothes suit my body shape, what healthy meals I can cook, how best to remove limescale.
I feel like it's making me less sure if myself and messing with my self confidence and I am looking for reassurance from my husband more and more. I also feel like I'm using other people / internet to try to figure out the bigger questions....why am I feeling low, how do I feel better, what will I enjoy doing etc?? Which is ridiculous as obviously only I can answer those more personal qus. I google things on mumsnet like 'why am I feeling so low' etx.
Anyone had this before and any tips to get back to trusting myself?
