Lately, I’ve been feeling really depressed. My self esteem is basically nonexistent, and I don’t recognize myself anymore. I feel like I’ve become a version of me that I don’t like someone tired, insecure, and stuck in their own mind all the time.
I know my boyfriend loves me and supports me, and I’m so grateful for that but I’m scared of leaning on him too much. I don’t want to overwhelm him or be a burden with all the things that are wrong with me right now. I’m afraid that one day he’s just going to get tired of dealing with all of this.
The truth is I want to change. I want to become someone completely different someone confident, emotionally stable, peaceful. Someone who loves herself. But I don’t know where to start. I feel like the depression is eating away at all my strength and making everything harder. Even small things feel heavy.
I know there’s no magic solution, but I just needed to let this out. I don’t want to keep it all in anymore. I’m trying, even if it doesn’t look like it.
If you’ve been through this and found your way out… how did you do it?
