I feel sad :(

[melody]

My real truth is: I am constantly afraid that I am not good enough. I am a freak, I am stupid when I make small errors, I am too emotional, I drink too much, I am weak. EVERYTHING ABOUT ME SEEMS TO BE WRONG IN MY OWN HEAD!!!!! I always overreact to everything, even when I know better.

Why am I so hard to like? No one can like the person who doesn't like themself. I am so sick of my garbage thoughts! I need to trash them, I keep knowing this, but I also keep going back to it. I am so angry with myself right now.

Melody.
I feel exactly the same way about myself...apart from mine aren't thoughts, they are fact!

[melody]

There!!! I admitted my worst fear!

Hi both of you

we all feel like that sometimes but try to challenge every negative thought with a positive one!!!

"I am not stupid - but a sensible person who sometimes makes mistakes just like everyone else!!!"

Good luck to you both & keep strong

Fact? No
They are the thoughts that go up & down. Bruised ego

[melody]

Not ready yet. Will have to put up with feeling sad for a few hours. Then it will pass later as it always does

Aww Melody I'm sorry you're feeling sad, but when you are ready, best thing to do is to look at your affirmations, I have copied and pasted the affirmations you have posted previously, down below to remind you that you are good enough, you are not a freak, you are not stupid in any way and that you're stronger than you think:


I am OK. I am safe. I am loved.
I am allowed to feel sad, angry or scared sometimes.
I have the right to be the judge of what I do or think, without the need for explanations.
I have the right to say "NO" without feeling guilty.
I have the right to make mistakes. Perfection is simply an illusion.
It's OK to take a risk & fail, then try again.
I can be more independent. I can trust who I am & that I know what to do.
I will make peace with myself by demanding respect of my boundaries
I am alive & free. I may choose to do as I please. Life can be fun.
Honesty will set me free. I can be proud of who I am & what I believe.
I am allowed to feel the way I feel. There is no need to fight it!
It is OK to feel angry. This means I respect my need for boundaries.
It is unwise to give up what I need for myself to others. I can choose how much I am able to give & respect me limitations.
I am confident & brave.
I deserve for good things to happen to me!!!

Ohhh... thanx Wolfieeee...,
I did look at some affirmations today & yesterday from the internet

I am proud of myself for even daring to try
I am able to easily handle any problem I face
Today I am willing to fail in order to succeed
I feel comfortable with all the decisions I make
Today nurturing myself is my highest priority
I treat myself with kindness and respect
Today I give myself permission to be greater than my fears

Recently I tried doing my affirmations while I was doing my cardio at the gym. I closed my eyes & repeated what I wished to feel. It is like a natural high. I have heard about positive thinking when exercising & those people are right. And I burned more calories cause I didn't hit the wall for longer.

Sometimes it can feel like I am making no progress, but in my past I would never have imagined I could feel only slightly below average tonight after being so heavily depressed this morning. PROGRESS! A bit sad still, not devastated. It was only my mind playing dirty tricks on me again.
