I have been dealing with these issues ever since I could form memories. I had a bit of a tough childhood and those issues follow you through adulthood. However, this is not something you can do nothing about because you have resources available to you to deal with these feelings. I am a huge advocate for therapy and currently I am taking Wellbutrin for my depression and medical marijuana for my anxiety. I should feel no shame for needing help and medication because the alternative is feeling the worst I’ve ever felt for an indefinite period of time.
I make jokes to my husband that no matter how many times he compliments me on my body/accomplishments/personality, there is a mental illness filter that doesn’t allow it to be accepted in my brain. That chemical imbalance is making it difficult to cultivate self-esteem. That is why it is so important to address these issues because you are important and you need to come back to yourself.
I also scheduled a gyno appointment to take a look at my hormone levels after giving birth because that also might be causing some psychological and physical symptoms.
