Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• I just bombed at something and I’m stuck swinging between making excuses for it and beating myself up over it
• I’m always making plans with myself and breaking them, and somewhere along the way I stopped trusting my own word
• When something doesn’t land the way I hoped, I write the whole thing off as a failure and myself along with it
• Trust with this person has cracked and I just keep apologizing for "not being trustworthy" in this big vague way
• I had a good run going and then I missed a couple of days, and now it feels like proof I’m just someone who can’t stick to anything
