counsellorsuggestion:

stop insulting yourself. it doesn’t help.

But what if it’s true

it still doesn’t help. you can call yourself as many names as you want, but it won’t make you a better, happier, healthier or kinder person.

punishment doesn’t work. only positive reinforcement does. be kind to yourself and get better.

I have come to learn that shame, guilt, and self-doubt are all very unproductive emotions. even if you think they’re justified, they’re not productive.
