“Why am I feeling like this? Why can’t I stop thinking about this? Why can’t I do something about it…I should be working harder, I shouldn’t feel this way, I shouldn’t have these thoughts, I must try again, I have to keep up…I’m not good enough, i’m a failure, I can’t stand myself, I don’t like myself, i’m not worthy at all, 'i’’m so bad at it, such a disappointment, how embarrassing, i’m ashamed of myself…”
