Having a low self esteem day

[callingtown]

Ever just get one of those days? You know the ones where you just feel like you don’t fit in or just not important. I have a skin condition that make me very self conscious- I can’t hide it and it’s very obvious. I just feel so sad today. Even in work today I just felt very lonely, I tried to initiate conversation in a group and was talked over or ignored (this isn’t a common thing ) I just have this strong sense of not belonging today and it’s making me very sad

I know how you feel, I feel that way often. You are not alone. I know it is hard when you are feeling that way towards yourself but could you try and imagine that you were saying or thinking those things about a friend. Would you say/think them? Also what helps me is to try and nurture myself when I am feeling like that, go for a long bath, read or yoga. Something like that does help. I hope you are ok.

Not alone. So many people feel like this sometimes. Sorry to hear you are self conscious about your skin condition.
For me, it's about my weight, strange body proportions and my excessive thread veins.
However, once I feel like this I start doubting my knowledge, I start assuming people don't like me & hyper-analyise what they must be thinking.

It's hard to shut that up.
No answers sorry but empathy & solidarity xx
