Yes, my mind is currently clouded with confusion, uncertainty, chaos, and turmoil.
And honestly, I can’t pinpoint exactly why.
There’s just so much happening at once—career, health, fitness, kids, parents, siblings... it all feels overwhelming.
Somewhere deep down, I know it stems from my nature—this constant, unconscious urge for perfection in everything I do. Even the slightest deviation unsettles me, and I find it hard to feel truly content. Maybe that’s part of why I come across as humble—not because I want to, but because I often struggle to see my own worth. I’m not trying to compliment myself—it’s just how I am. I genuinely wonder why I can’t think highly of myself and why I’m always finding flaws within.
Sometimes I feel I’m so aware of my weaknesses that I forget my strengths. When things don’t go as planned, I immediately start analyzing, tracing everything back to the root cause (yes, I have this habit of needing to understand “why”). And more often than not, I end up blaming myself—concluding it’s my fault or shortcoming. That’s when the sadness creeps in.
Then, occasionally, someone offers a kind word or praise, and I’m reminded—“Oh, right… I do have some good in me.”
It feels strange to admit all this—even writing it down feels weird. But it’s exactly how I’m feeling right now. If my career isn’t moving forward, I blame myself for not doing enough. If I’m not physically fit, it’s because I’m not putting in the effort. If my kids mess up, I feel like I’ve failed as a mother. If my parents are unhappy, I question myself as a daughter.
I just want to ask—God, please guide me... please help me find peace of mind. 🙏
