Lately, I seem to self sabatoge myself in various aspects of my life. It's like I feel like I don't deserve to be happy. I don't take care of myself like I should anymore, don't eat right or sleep right and just put myself and my happiness last. I take care of my toddler really well but I just let myself go. Have you ever felt like this before? Do you have any advice for me? How can I convince myself that I am worthy of happiness?
serious answers only please

I actually know a lot of people who do this. It seems to be most common with mothers. However, other people do this too. I'm the same way. Lately I've actually been noticing how bad it is. I'm not completely sure why I do this. I dont know if I subconciously am trying to punish myself for some reason, by eating too much, worrying and staying up late. Or maybe I put myself last and try to take care of everyone else because I feel if I can take care of them, all is well in the world. But as much as you are being a great person and taking care of others like your toddler, it does negatively effect things as well. I need to remind myself that if I don't take care of myself who will? And if you don't have good health, how will you be able to take care of toddler if you can't take care of yourself? I know its a lil of a downer to think like this but I think it's true. I think if you remember that your a person just like everyone else you take care of, you'll realize how much you need to nurture yourself. God bless and I hope success in your health and happiness in the future..

Different day, different feeling.
Somedays are good, some days are real dowers.
I am sure you have felt those.
You just have to get by the downers and live for the uppers.
Though they seem to be far an in between.
It is like rain and sun.
You have to expect rain to enjoy the sun.
The more you go without the sun, the more you are apt to enjoy the sun.

No convincing needed. You are more than worthy of happinesss.
Look into your toddler's...no...your baby's eyes. Do you see yourself? Maybe in your baby's mannerisms? The way he/she adores you...chinz-up girlie. The best is yet to come!
