Does Anyone Else Feel Like This?

i feel that way in my relationship that i'm in. He has a lot more going for him than I do. I feel unworthy of love from anybody. but i show it in anger and aloofness other than with sadness and true feeling.

I have felt like a burden to my family and reminding myself that e all need support at times and when I am good, I try to share the goodness:-)

Boy can I relate to this!! I feel this way 24/7. You're not alone in this.

I can really relate to this. I feel like this a lot (usually on my really bad days). In my mind I really do believe I am a burden to some degree. Before I was getting help and seeing a T I knew I was putting a lot of unneeded stress on my husband and said and did things that he didn't know how to deal with and at times were hurtful. Even while seeing my T it was difficult and it wasn't until I started taking medication that I feel like less of a burden because I feel myself returning to the closest I can get to being normal again. It's stressful still for him knowing what had happened to me and having to deal with me on medication and going to my T all the time but I'm hoping once I am "normal" again that I will no longer be a burden and help carry the load with him and give him the break he deserves.

A burden? Me? Yeah... :(

Sometimes.

I'm working on boosting the esteem so that I feel better about myself.

Years of being told that I was 'the problem' most likely contributed to this feeling of being a burden.

I feel like this, just told my husband again a few weeks ago. He doesn't see it that way at all.

When I go to therapy I think this kind of feeling manifests itself in thinking how burdened he is with seeing people all day and hearing it all. I don't want to take up his time, or I think how unimportant I am anyway.

I start to try to take responsibility for any stress I might cause my therapist, instead of realizing that this is what he chose to do and he can handle it.

Yes that is exactly how I feel a lot of the time. I am not important, compared to all the other more important cases he has to see. My problems are just minor, compared to theirs and I should be dealing with this myself, working it out myself.

And especially because I know he is busy and gets booked out all the time, so I know there are so many people that need his help. So I come very low down on that list, because he treats kids mainly and they are more important.

Especially because my son is being treated too and he is much more important than me. But I see that it is important for me to be treated because that will help my son, so I can justify it that way.
