Eating Disorders

When you’re struggling with depression or low self-worth, it’s easy to start looking outside yourself for proof that you matter. A compliment, a relationship, success, attention, or someone choosing you can make you feel better for a while. But when your sense of worth depends entirely on what comes back from other people, it can disappear just as quickly.

There’s nothing wrong with wanting love, connection, or reassurance. We all need those things. The goal isn’t to stop needing people. It’s to stop believing that other people get to decide your value.

You deserve to experience love from others without needing it as evidence that you are worthy of love in the first place.

What is one quality you value in yourself that has nothing to do with anyone else’s opinion?
