Incapable of being kind to myself and also incapable of saving myself, so really this is the year of waiting for the ship to finish sinking

Sorry, not jess

Sorry that’s your outlook, that really sucks.

If you haven’t tried, maybe give therapy a go. But no need to pay heed to something from a stranger, maybe talk to a friend or loved one first for advice.

Good luck.

Already in therapy and on meds, for all the good it does me. Thanks though, I appreciate your comment

This is pretty much my issue too. I have absolutely horrendous double standards.

"It's fine, no worries friend you can make a mistake, you're only human of course."

"I'm an absolute moron, a complete waste of oxygen, how could I possibly drop that pencil? If they weren't attached to me I'd drop my own damn hands! How could I be so absurd to think I deserve to find a partner when I can't even properly hold a pencil!?"

That kind of fun stuff lol
