sue doe,
Hey, that's great about your accomplishments today! I don't have kids, but I feel better when I've cleaned the house and it's (relatively) in good shape. When I'm really down, I just let everything go and looking around at the mess just makes me feel worse. (My husband is a good straightener but not good with the real "cleany" stuff.) I digress.
I, too, struggle with a feeling of worthlessness and/or a need to suffer or punish myself. My husband says I'm hard wired to feel like I am undeserving of happiness. He's right - the key is finding out how to not think like that anymore. Duh, easier said then done.
I'm going to add an accomplishment column to my list also. In my case, here it is Fri and I've made it to work all week and have been fairly productive. For me, considering my attendance in the last 6 months, that's an accomplishment.
