"I think for me it's putting the voices in my head that I need to have for myself...telling myself that I'm not a worthless and that I'll be ok."
That's very moving to read for some reason. It's funny, I have started trying to say to myself that "I'm not pathetic" after I asked my T if she thought I was. She said no, no, not at all, of course. But since then I have been saying that to myself. And as I read your beautiful statement here it makes me think of one thing. Might be better for my psyche to say something in the positive, like "I'm OK." Or, "My feelings are important." instead of using a "not" statement.
I don't know whether you actually say to yourself, "I'm not worthless" but my eyes first read it as "I'm worthless". -That's my own projection I"m sure. ;-) If you do say it that way, what do you think of saying, "I'm worth something!" Or "I'm fabulous!" Just a thought.
