What if the person you used to be is better than the one you are currently?

The pic is about perception. It doesn’t cover someone who has actually changed for the worse.

I was in that spot for a while, but I realized that by Changing my thoughts about myself and encouraging good behavior (positive reinforcement), I became more of the person I wanted to be. Instead of punishing myself, I coached myself lovingly on behaving well and cheered myself when I did. Within a matter of weeks, I switched from intense self loathing to loving myself everyday because I believe I am a great person who tries to do good in my core. I am worthy of love from myself because I am trying my best.

I’m jealous of you. I hate that I have this feeling, but I’m jealous that you were able to find a way out. Congratulations nonetheless ❤️

We are always changing. You can definitely be in a place where you're worse than you were before. And that realization can hit like a ton of bricks. But that realization is also the first step to improving yourself. So my answer would be to take a look at your life, figure out how to improve it, and then start doing it

Well, my son was in the hospital for a month and almost died 3 times. I thought I was an OK dad until he woke up and punched me in the face and yelled, why are you not angry!". At that moment, I realized how my son saw me and changed myself at 45 years old. Probably the 3rd major change I made in my life and all have been for the better. Everyone can change if they really try.
