Never feel good enough

Having a bit of a rough time, feel like I need to give my head a shake!
I’ve always had issues with never feeling good enough, obviously from childhood experiences.
I’m the youngest of five, and the forgotten one I guess.
When things go well for me, I seem to try and self sabotage, as an I adult I’ve recognised and stopped this so much, have a lovely husband and kids, although feel like a crap wife and an even worse mother tbh.
I always questioned myself career wise, wanted to do more/challenge myself, but every time I let myself down, and basically take steps back rather than forward, I’m in this situation right now and just feel awful, I want to cry but physically can’t!
What can I do to help stop this constant questioning of why I can’t achieve more, why can’t I be happy just being!!??
anyone know??

You need some good counseling to unpack issues from your childhood. I suspect there is a lot more there than just being the youngest "forgotten" child.
