Is there any good way to get rid of the underlying feeling that I’m wrong somehow? Or that I’m a gross, boring, and horrible? I’m trying not to entertain the thoughts and engage in hobbies, but the feeling is always there. I don’t feel like a person

I feel this way sometimes though my intrusive thoughts are more like ‘your probably super racist (or abliest or just a terrible human in general) and you don’t even realize it’. Therapy (though that’s expensive and it didn’t work for my issue because all i would do is talk) I hear journaling help, though i suck at routines so i wouldn’t know. Affirmations i hear helps but the jury is still out on that (1/2)

ive learned the answer to everything is treat every emotion like a body sensation and sit with it/talk to it. its probably deep rejection trauma from being neurodivergent and you need to give yourself the care u never received 🫠its hard and makes u feel a lil coocoobananapants bc ur talking to and hugging yourself but it helps a lot. somatic work ftw

Because my situation is a tad different i picked classes to help me learn about things like disability and race, but i feel like that probably isn’t exactly what you’re looking for. If your school has a therapist you could talk to them. Another suggestion i have is probably self care. Treat yourself well even if you think you don’t deserve it. Because fake it till you make it. I feel like this probably doesn’t help much and it’s probably what everyone says.
