I agree with annierose. I know that when I finish something big, there's a let down. I'm hard on myself and sometimes all the effort feels wasted. Part of it is giving myself credit for feeling good about achieving something. I don't give myself the credit that others see I might deserve. Also, I invest so much emotional energy, that I know it taps back into being "good enough" for my parents so they wouldn't abandon me (although they did anyway and truth be told I didn't have a darn thing to do with that).
Go ahead and cry. Wish I could. Let it out.
best,
antigua
