Have you ever identified with this?
If you've experienced abuse growing up, or as an adult...chronic, severe abuse that will nearly erase you to nothing. Where you have felt worthless over time or not loveable.
Occasionally I can almost override those awful distorted thoughts that I'm not enough, and know that it didn't truly alter me (the abuse), that I'm just BELIEVEING these horrible ideas still.
But have you ever wondered what if having such extreme or destructive experiences DID somehow make you less, less capable, less confident, less anything? Like there's a big deficit within you? It's so hard trying to believe I'm equal to anyone else, when I have chronic issues now from those nightmarish days. (PTSD, ANXIETY , etc)
