Phillipa, I'm sad to hear you say these things about yourself. I really wonder, isn't it possible you're seeing and experiencing things through the dark mood of depression, rather than how things necessarily have to be?
Some of these thoughts and feelings could be negative beliefs, couldn't they? Beliefs that could be subject to change, if you felt better, more hopeful-- and could get in touch with more hopeful and good possiblities--don't you think that's possible?
Because I really do find it hard to believe your severe self-criticisms-- you seem so kind and generous in spirit. You have so much to offer. Your husband must have seen that when he married you-- qualities that are still there? Aren't they? Maybe? only maybe they're lost for the moment, to your awareness--under this blanket of doubt and sadness and self-reproach?
