Is it normal to never feel good enough

When it comes to my parents and my boyfriend I just never feel good enough. I never measure up to the standards they have set for me. I feel worthless, which causes me to be extremely depressed. I have anxiety issues so when I feel down I get panic attacks and freak out. I hate people knowing about that side of me so I hide it from everyone. Is any of this normal? I just want to feel worthy of someones love...

    I think we all feel this way at times. When people we look up to and admire don't see us for who we are, it hurts. But it is only a projection of what we think they think. It is not truth. Just remember that they too have issues they need to overcome and are likely projecting their own insecurities onto you. You do not have to take them.

    Saint John's Wart may help improve your mood. Xanex may help with the anxiety. I do not think that pills solve everything but if they really help you feel stable and "good enough" then you have to go for it.

    Life is too short to not feel good about your life.

    No its not normal to feel this way.
    You may even require medication on a possible deficiency or neurologic disease or disorder.
    You should start by visiting your local doctor.
    Or speaking to your parents so they may be able to offer more help, since they know you best (other than yourself of course)
