This is the truth. Very vulnerable post. Please go easy on me.
Trying to find ways to manage my inner critic while in a new relationship. Makes me very insecure. Says lots of body shaming stuff, ugly etc. Goes on to say he’s not really in it despite proof otherwise.
I get into bad behaviors trying to “prove” these thoughts. Looking up his exes (toxic I know) to compare. She’s thinner, she’s cooler.. etc.. I can practically convince myself I’m a hideous monster and he will leave me.
He has trauma too so he gets it. We both have our struggles. We both do the work. I can see the bigger picture but it’s hard work. I just want to keep connection and not be fueled by my trauma.
