    @Creativeboy23 Hello! I know how u feel, my family always make uncalled for comments and whether they mean it in a cruel way of not, it does usually end up upsetting me quite a bit. That was pretty shitty of your dad to start to make things personal like that. The other day I was arguing with my dad and she was telling me off about not doing chores which is a pretty normal thing to get told off for and then she got overly stressed and mad that she brought up my addiction/trauma and it was really really not called for.

    Have you thought about speaking to your dad when he's in a more calm mood and when he'd be willing to listen to you? Idk what your relationship with him is like or what he's like but maybe talking to him about how his comments bother u could help him try to be like more aware of what he's saying? I'm not sure.

    How are you doing today? :)

    Aw sorry to hear you're feeling low again :( I'm feeling pretty good for once!

    I'm sorry to hear all these people in your life have made comments which upset and offend you but you're not focusing on the good comments equally! I'm sure so so SO many people have complimented you or/and your work and it's really important to remember those things too :)

    I understand how shit it feels when you feel like everyone sees you in a negative light but you need to be able to see yourself as an amazing person before you can expect anyone else to. Try not to be so self critical, although I know it's a lot easier said than done. Ofc idk you but from what I do know, you seem like a lovely person.

    I hope u feel better soon and your low mood hasn't dragged into today. Sending hugs! <3
