Re: Topic Tuesday // Self Esteem & Mental Health // Tues 13th Aug, 7pm-9pm AEST
Good morning everyone and @nashy
I've had a rough night, but have gone through the thread, to look for my take-away message. I'm too forgetful to remember anything that was said even 30min ago... I thought I'd share it here, even if it might not all make sense to others.
So for self-esteem
- face to face connections 'mirrored back' 'attunement' 'validation'
- reminding myself 'it's their stuff'
- prioritize 'safety' in the here and now
- find self-affirmations (I have a safety statement but not a self-esteem affirmation)
- I've had enough shoulds
- give myself some slack
- mindfulness
- joyful activities
- value activities
- journalling positive qualities
- external support
- taking a risk, trying something new
- 'would I speak to my daughter like that? (I thought putting a name there might help, as 'a friend' is to general
- say 'thank you' and accept compliments without discussion
- gratitude
- exercise
Thank you all x

If anything, the discussion left me feeling more alone and misunderstood. I have no idea how someone can be this disconnected, this broken and still be breathing.
For those who found it helpful, I am great full some make it through.

Hi @Maggie
I am incredibly sorry to hear that yesterday's Topic Tuesday Discussion left you feeling even more alone and misunderstood than you were already feeling. It can be incredibly disheartening to feel like something you were hoping would be helpful for you, turns out making you feel worse.
