Hey, I get it. That heavy feeling in your chest, the little voice telling you youâre not enoughâitâs exhausting, isnât it? First, take a breath. Guilt usually means you care deeply, and that says something good about you. But hereâs the thing: guilt and usefulness arenât the same. One is an emotion; the other is a story you're telling yourself. Try thisâwrite down one small thing you did today that mattered, even a tiny bit. Made someone smile? Finished a task? Got out of bed? Thatâs proof youâre not useless. And about the guiltâask yourself: would you talk to a friend feeling this way the same way you're talking to yourself? Probably not. Give yourself that same kindness. You're in a tough spot, but you're still here, still trying. That alone means something.
