    personality

    Before i found this site i used to think i had a split personality, one minute i was mrs oh so confident bubbly person, then the next be a jibbering wreck, I know on here so many people have the same thoughts as me, but i still maybe think that a little bit, dont think i;ve ever got away from that feeling that im weird to feel like this,

    Ive just read that and it doesnt make sence LOL can any one sort of see where im cominf from on this or is it just me.

    Im on my way to a job interview and im really nervouse been a long time since i've been to one, but i have these two voices in my head one saying "you will be fine nothing to woryy about stop being stupid", then this other one sayin "oh my god what if u cant think of anything to say or worse say something stupid" "oh what if i just sit and cry imagine that ahhhhh im doing it again, now im thinking ill just ring them and say im not coming, aahh see what i mean LOL

    right im going to tidy girls bedroom that will keep- me occupied for and hour,

    sorry to ramble LOL

    Hi Kairen,

    Listen to the positive voice and ignore the negative one, its just tryin to scare you.

    Im sure you will not do anything terrible there. We always think we might, but we never do!

    Good luck.

    hi Kairen,

    We all get this sometimes. Just try to listen to the positive one as much as possible and the negative one will slowly go away..

    Kairen,

    Congratulations on the interview.
    Whats is it for ?

    Its our normal internal dialogue. Everyone has one that helps make every descision.

    Make sure the rational voice always wins and you'll be well on the up..

    Thanks meg,

    The job is for a care worker with the eldery who i love being with,
    and fingers crossed the interview went great and she said as long as my references checked out ok i would go in for a 2nd interview, but she didnt see any probs so hopefully job is mine,

    funnily enough before i went i was just looking through the site cos there is still so much i keep finding but i was reading your post about keeping thoughts in perspective, and im so glad i found it cos it really helped, everything you said just makes sence, and i dont think i have ever looked at it from that point, so thank you so much for that xxx.

    I only found this site a short time ago, but i have had more information and support in that short time than in all my years of doc, appointments and counsellors, i now feel like i actually understand myself a bit better, i have always just really got annoyed with myself b4 told myself not 2 be daft etc, and i can see what your saying in im just replacing it with another neg, thought.

    This site has been a gods send, and i'd like to thank everyone who puts so much time into it and makes it such a place of comfort and understanding

    THANK YOU >>>>> x

    Kairen,

    It makes it all worthwhile when we know that some advice or tip has really helped someone in a specific situation.

    Sometimes, its easy to get complacent with anxiety and just hold out for that miracle to happen and stop making the effort yourself as you think its an unreachable task and small changes will not help, whereas, in reality it's the small changes that then spark your next change and the next and the next.

    Also, when you are convinced about what YOU think is wrong and people are telling you thats its all thoughts and dialogue based and not reality - its a very bitter pill to swallow.. But you will not improve at all until you are at least open enough to accept that your self diagnosis of xxxxx may not be correct and that your thoughts may be totally misleading you ..

    You then get a lightbulb moment and the mist lifts for a moment or two and then later on for another few minutes etc.

    Glad you're getting there and of course hope you get the job.

    firstly, congratulations celia!
    hope your interview went well kairen - hope you get the job!
    i think that everyone has that split personality thing you are talking about, it's like that 'angel on one shoulder, devil on the other' thing.
    ignore all the bad stuff and listen to the positive voice!!!
    take care,
