DEFEATEST, NEGATIVE, DOWNBEAT
Is anyone else the same, I always look at things bleakly and make excuses. I also am so angry with the world that I'm sure that people can sense it. I just seem to struggle to do what everyone else does easily. I get really worked up and so angry that I want to smash everything up and give in to this.
I am the same, my glass is always half empty, when it should be half full!!!
I wish that I could lose my temper and show some emotion, that is my problem, I bottle everything up inside and it manifests itself as anxiety.

You need to take it out on something, I go out and chop wood with my axe. When I'm striking the axe I picture someone's head on the block who has caused me hurt and imagine I'm beheading them, that's just how warped my mind is.

Yes, I could easily apply those adjectives to myself. My GP once told me that I was a glass is half-empty person ! Mind you, I was slightly bemused as they certainly knew I have been through hell and most (if not all) not of my doing. I wondered whether I should have been doing a comedy routine or wearing bright red shoes and a red nose !
I turn my rage inward though and that's why I'm so *****d. I don't know if I'm angry with the world so much as I am with some of the people in it. I certainly could cheerfully rip them apart if I so wanted but prefer to imprison myself within these four walls and carry on this slow death.
I too also keep all my emotion inside and have struggled to find ways to get it out..... i email it as i type fast and rant it all out but i then need ot send it , which is usually to the counsellor.... but i know she prevents replying as wants me to rant in the sessipon verbally and not on email.
I'm the complete opposite and always believe that tomorrow will be better, even though it often isn't. To be honest, I don't think I'd have coped at all if I wasn't like this so I really feel for you.
People do say you can choose your attitude. Not sure how true that really is but I do believe that it is possible to become more positive. Just don't ask me how!
