I'm new here!

Hi, my name is PattyMorrisAuthor. I'm here because I’m working on a memoir + about three mothers of children with a rare disease. The book explores the isolation many mothers experience in their roles as protectors. I love connecting with others to break my own isolation and to offer what I can to others in similar circumstances.

When you’re struggling with depression, it’s easy to start measuring your worth by what you can see around you. How much you’ve achieved, whether people approve of you, whether someone chooses you, or whether your life looks the way you thought it would. And when those things aren’t going well, it can start to feel like you aren’t doing well either.

But your circumstances are not a measurement of your value. You can lose something, struggle with something, disappoint someone, or still be figuring out who you are without becoming less worthy because of it. Part of depression recovery is learning to separate what is happening in your life from what you believe about yourself because of it. You are allowed to want more for your life while still believing the person you are today deserves compassion.

What’s one thing you’re learning not to use as a measure of your worth?

Also, if you're going through a tough time right now, I want you to know that I post daily mental health videos about how to deal with painful thoughts.
