How Do You Feel About Your Self?

[Deleted member 38644]

Most of the time I spend my time either crying or confused. I feel like I don't know myself and confused on the concept of the idea that it's a lot wrong with me.

Depends almost entirely on what mood you catch me in.

Regardless, I try not to think about myself very much, & focus on what I'm doing, instead. May not be the healthiest option out there, but as I'm all I've got to work with, might as well make the best of it.

It seems like I feel bad and good about myself all at the same time! It is so weird! Really trying to focus on the good and not on all of the feelings of Shame, worthlessness, and negative thoughts. I also feel somewhat proud, resilient, and encouraged that if I can come through and sustain the life I have; I must have something in me worth trying to succeed and to be happy:) Good question!

Yeah, that is a common symptom of PTSD, it is a very tough phase that surfaces and then recedes. When someone first gets PTSD it is the toughest because then there is constant confusion, fright and fear. But that does get better when the brain begins to heal and it is so wonderful when the phase is reached where the patient can use those healthy brain cells again and begin to improve.

But until then it is a very tough road, took me seven years to get to a point where I could actually tell that my brain was really healing. I did not want to believe that I was healing, despite the fact that there were some improvements. I guess I was so stuck in fear and confusion for so long that the healing at times simply went unnoticed.

Yep, did not think I was healing to the point where I could ever get out of the PTSD grave. But I made it out........... whew

When I am thinking rationally I am fine with myself. I don't find value of the idea of self love, I prefer self awareness. However I also don't hate myself. I suppose I am fairly average. I think I tend to help people more than most people, but also I'm 18 so most of my relationship with the world to this point had been parasitic.
I have things that I like about myself, but I also have flaws... I like myself as much as I like most people-- but I just have more complex reasons why I feel the way I do about myself, since I know myself better than I know most people.

I f*cking hate myself!!! Yesterday in therapy I made a joke about having a time machine. My therapist asked me where I would go if I had a time machine. I told her I would go back to when I was conceived and stop my parents from having sex.

I feel like I'm an earthbound misfit, as pink floyd would so poetically say, but I try to have healthy fun every chance I get whether "they" want me to or not.
