One thing is certain: how our parents see us affects our self-perception. When you were a child and your parents repeated something to you over and over again - and there was no one else around you against whom you could check the correctness of these
statements - it is likely that you took the point of view of your parents.
We sabotage ourselves because we are conditioned to trust the false self-perception we acquired as children and believed for a long time.

Disabilities and Divergences as Magic
Inspired by Tale Foundry’s “How H.P. Lovecraft Wrote the Impossible“, and “True Names as a MAGIC SYSTEM? — Worldbuilding Ideas“, my mind took the ideas of naming the impossible, and true names as power and magic, and I thought of how for me, knowing myself, finding labels and explainations and reasurrances about those things, gave me so much control over them, over myself. Defanging so much of the anxiety and self-deprecation I felt over how I am, because its not some dark monstrosity of my mind, not something that makes me less than others. Just something different. Named. Known. Understood in many ways. Almost normal, banal.
Now I understand, now I can twist apart the cogs of this internal, no longer infernal, device and spy how they work on me and how I work on them. I may not be able to fully understand it all myself, or to adjust all the stressed and kinked parts, but I can SEE IT. I know when something is wrong, or when something is just odd. When I have a wierd function or when my function is off. And with that comes power. Comes magic.
For me, to name myself is to know myself. To label is to understand. To see what makes me, is to no longer fear what fills me.

All my life has been an attempt to close gaps
Between what I see and what I believe
What I believe and what I feel
What I feel and who I am
Where I’m at and what I could be.
Trying to close these gaps, I’m either stretched across the horizon or falling into abyss.

I’m sorry. I hurt you. I left you all alone. I let people’s power control over me. Look where I am now. Look what happened. I thought I was strong. I asked for courage. I thought I had it. Was I pretending? Am I really who I think I am?
Strong
Indepedent
Contented
Then why am I the sad one

Stormy Skies
I'm a dream away from the storm.
For each time my eyes close I feel lightning strike across the thin skin of my eyelids,
I feel the thunder rumble in my heart.
I'm a breath away from breaking.
For everytime my emotions stretch out it's like a sunbeam breaking through the black clouds around my trembling soul.
I feel the rain drizzle softly on my skin.
