How should we define our value or what should we see our value as?

I ponder this question as these days, I feel I barely have any value. I don't work, I don't cook, and I rarely clean. Sure I bring in a bit of money from VA disability, so I can help with the bills. Other than that I'm mostly just here.

My husband says that it's all he wants is for me to be there and to be alright mentally. He understands that it's such a struggle as I have a severe mental illness. It's hard to accept that I am worthy of such love when I feel so useless.

I am really trying though. Some have said that people have value just by existing. I'm working on seeing things from that perspective. I guess I'm just struggling with self acceptance right now, but I am trying hard to learn to love myself better.
