Dear Shirley,

Maybe starting a project/activity would help? Pick one thing that is meaningful to you and do a bit to accomplish/master it each day.It could be dance, learning a musical instrument, or even making origami/arts and crafts each day! You could even document your progress with a video diary. I’ve been going through similar emotions and thoughts as you, and what I find is that I need to “get out of my head” sometimes. Engaging yourself in some type of activity may give you that boost of self confidence to say “hey, I can do this! And if I can do this, I have what it takes to achieve something else”
