How to make yourself feel like you are deserving of happiness when you've messed up in one aspect of your life?
It sounds silly but I'm a person that tends base my happiness on grades or achievements, especially because I want to get into med school, so when I get a bad grade or anything I feel like I don't deserve to be happy or even to smile. how do you move past that feeling? like I feel like I have to almost morph into the bad grade, like emulate the vibes you feel when you get a bad grade. maybe it is a coping mechanism to ease the guilt or to punish myself, but how do I stop doing it? It's honestly consuming me
