Is it normal?

[alekst2104]

Hey guys, I've got a quick question. Does anyone else blame themselves/beats themselves up (mentally and emotionally) if you forget to do something small? Something small like going to the shop or not doing something??

Yes sometimes it’s so easy to be awful to ourselves...we wouldn’t bully anyone else how we bully ourselves...I’m slowly learning that I deserve kindness and it feels much nicer..

You deserve to be kind to yourself too.

Best wishes ❤️🌺🌺🌺

Yes completely normal. It only becomes a problem if you spend lots of time and energy beating yourself up coz what's the point of that. Accept you are human and not a computer to be programmed! x

Over the years I have learnt to accept my body but then I can't accept the fact that I sometimes make a small mistake...

[hypercat54 in reply to alekst2104]

Only small mistakes? You are lucky as the rest of us make bigger ones! x

[alekst2104 in reply to hypercat54]

When it comes to small mistakes I beat myself up. However, when it comes to big mistakes I pretty much feel like killing myself...

Life isn't an endurance test you know or a competition, it is for us to enjoy and make the most of. You only live once so lighten up a bit is my advice. x

Normal. Pretty much. Modern day's pressure.

Take a deep breath and wash your face with cold water. Then try to use post its, lol, it helps?

Hell to the YES.I think its more out of frustration that I cant do something physically or my head injuries gave me a brain fart...lol I usually make others bonkos because I keep telling other what I forgot to do, because I cant believe I didn't do something small.Case in point...Bought a antique jello mold (I collect them) over month ago..needs a tiny nail to be put up on my wall and takes 3 seconds to do.....fyi still sitting on my table...minor brain fart...lol.."Dont Sweat the small stuff"... all these things eventually get done.Ignore anyone who pushes u beyond where ur comfortable with ur timeline of doing "Stuff"
