View Full Version : Does it ever feel like it's just not enough? (possibly triggering, so sorry if it is)

I cut to punish, because I've screwed up a lot with people, and I feel like I'm always the one that cares more and I'm never good enough for people to care about me. It feels like anything that goes wrong or makes me or someone I care about unhappy can somehow be traced back to or blamed on the fact that I'm not good enough, or I made a mistake. I'm not suicidal, but I do feel guilty just for being alive. But no matter how much pain I feel or how deep or how much I cut, I feel guilty because I should do more. It's kinda like the way I feel guilty if I say anything good about myself, because it's kinda like saying something good about myself if I'm saying "that's enough, you don't deserve more".
Anyone else kinda like this? I know some people are but anyone on here? I hope not, that scares me because I don't want anyone else hurting themselves, especially dangerously.

You just defined me to a point. No matter what I do I feel like I'm not enough. If anyone sees my scars, I feel like an attention hog. If I say somthing good about myself, I feel like I'm gloating. :(

Hi Sarah

I SH to punish to because I get basically everything wrong. It often makes me feel like I care more about things and other people than they do themselves. This is good and bad. I also try to remember that being sensitive and thoughtful may make life harder and upset us more, but it also is a good thing and something to be proud of! :)

Whatever you think you deserve guilt for I promise you that being alive is not one of them. Take care of yourself,
