Thanks, alesta. You're right that I didn't receive a lot of acknowledgment as a child. I had some superstar siblings that got all of that. And I've been working on this in therapy lately. It's scary to me how upset I get when I think about these situations where I wasn't acknowledged.
It's a good idea to think of positive things about myself. It's so *hard*, but I've been working on that in therapy too. I can do it, but I never believe it. I never feel it. So hopefully that'll change with time. Sigh.
Thanks again,
pegasus
