Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- I become a noticeably different person depending on who I’m around
- There’s an area of my life
- My harsh self-critical thoughts land like verdicts on who I fundamentally am, and they devastate me because I take them as the truth about my whole self
- This low mood feels like it’s just who I am now and always will be, and I’ve lost touch with the fact that I’ve been through completely different chapters of my life and somehow there was always a "me" underneath, steady through all of it.
- My default setting is to evaluate myself constantly
