Carolyn: Thank you for taking my question. I do indeed have depression — also anxiety, and have mostly recovered from an eating disorder — so I recognize that plays a role in how I feel about myself. But I haven’t shaken the belief that there is something inherently wrong with me that makes me unworthy. I honestly believe every human is worthy of love but I can always find some reason that doesn’t apply to me. And even though I recognize that that’s what I’m doing, I find it hard to stop doing it.
