We all have positive and negative images we hold. If you insist on being positive all the time, your negatives are still there. Also, by saying that you MUST be positive, you resist the negative. What you resist will persist, and become stronger.
Don't blame yourself and don't make yourself wrong for how you feel. Accept yourself exactly as you are, including the negative images and emotions. Welcome the negative and immerse yourself in it without resistance. It will play itself out. When the pain subsides, ask yourself what you want. Who do you want to be? How do you want to feel? Embrace that. Feel it. Be it.
Your problem isn't that you don't have enough wisdom, value, power, or love. You are wisdom, value, power, and love. "Problems" are caused by all of the deeply held self images you hold which fool you into believing you must seek after something "out there" to fix you. You need no fixing!
Seek not to change yourself, but to accept yourself--all parts of your self--and healing begins.
