You've still got room to empathise with others even while suffering yourself. You took the time to post this info as a way of helping others despite you needing help yourself. That makes you an exceptional person in my mind and it's what I aspire to be. The world would be better with more people like you in it. Perhaps try to remember that next time you're feeling particularly bad about yourself. It has me thinking that the real LPT here is helping others as a great way to get outside of your own head, with all its exhausting, sabotaging, negative self talk. Thank you.
