Consistent thoughts about not being enough.


I have been doing this work for a few years now. Lately I am having consistent thoughts about how I am not enough.

When I see a pile of laundry on the bed my thought is “look you aren’t a good enough homemaker.” When the baby cries and I can’t console her I think that I’m not a good enough mother. When I see my body in the mirror I think that I’m not attractive enough for my husband because of my weight. I know that these thoughts are creating a negative emotion and I am trying on new thoughts such as “maybe I am enough,” but my brain completely rejects that new thought and won’t believe it.

How do I come out of this cycle of negative thoughts? Last week I was in tears. I’m so tired of thinking I’m not enough but I don’t know how to feel like I am.
