I don't know what to do, everything is going well for me, I am in a new relationship and about to start a new life interstate but I in my mind I still feel anxious that something bad is going to happen, that i dont deserve happiness, finally my life is getting better on the outside but on the inside I'm still having terrible thoughts; that I don't deserve happiness, that things will turn bad soon and I can't escape it 😞 it's like my soul hates me, I can't explain it I just want it to go away 😞

Hi Liana, welcome
I'm of the view that in the first instance you need to visit your GP and discuss this feeling. This is to rule out and emotional issues that he can treat of refer.
The other thing is that confidence when low and consistently low needs to be looked at from a "kick start" approach IMO. Seek out some motivation lectures, positive thinking courses, inspirational stories. etc. I attended a motivation lecture for 30 minutes in 1982. It shaped my future. Instantly I became a half full person from half empty.
Point yourself in the right direction. The road signs should point- winner, kindness, achiever, etc. Don't be stuck at the crossroads.
