I keep picking up PM, reading a few pages and then putting it down. I kind of understand what it is saying to me but I don't know how to implement it.
I really think all of our problems lie squarely on my shoulders. My self image is a VERY negative one. This actually goes way back, to my childhood. I have always been seeking approval from my Dad, even now at the age of 43. I never measure up, he has always found fault in me. Growing up, neither of my parents were very affectionate and they never told us they loved us. I guess I am desperately seeking approval and affection from basically everyone but I am afraid that I don't measure up and I don't deserve it.
I sure sound like a good candidate for therapy, don't I?
