So I’ve been recovering from burn out and child hood trauma, alongside chronic depression and psychosomatic pain and am making some huge steps in therapy at the moment. The past few weeks I’ve been feeling self confident for the first time in what feels like forever. Like, I genuinely think I haven’t felt this way since I was 4 years old. However, being more comfortable with myself and my looks has made me feel guilty about it. I feel self-absorbed and have literally googled ‘Is it vain to like the way you look’. The fact that I’m finally feeling more confident in myself (which is a goal I’ve been working hard for) yet still feel bad about it has made me feel depressed sand hopeless regarding my future. Will I ever be able to experience positive feelings without feeling guilty or sad about them? Does anyone perhaps have similar experiences or some advice on this subject? I would love to hear other people’s thoughts on this.
