    It can be unimaginably, uncomprehendingly better than just the ‘I don’t care about myself’ state tho, if that is the best they can manage or perhaps even as a step on the gradual path of self-worth/healing - that is amazing!

    Don’t dismiss ‘getting slightly better’ as a failure bcs it’s not immediately resulting in the prefect best-case end scenario/state.

    We are all on a journey.

      Sure, I’ve been there, I’m still there some days, it’s a lot of hard work to push yourself and find your redeeming qualities when you feel like you don’t have any, or keep trying when you feel like you fail every time, or feel like you sabotage yourself every time you get something going right. If that’s a step it’s great I’m just saying, don’t put all your eggs in one basket.
