Just a thought

Sometimes you can't see yourself clearly until you see yourself through eyes of others!

Then what- not in all instances but with some it made me feel worse!

Oh i'm sorry i didn't mean it that way! I mean others look at us and say you're a nice person or kind or put whatever in there. I know I beat myself up more than anybody else. People don't look at me the way I do!

Thanks for your kind thoughts. Mother in law just passed, and this is tough.

I get it! My mom reposed Jan. 8, 1989. I still miss her so very much and always will. She was my best friend , now I sit with no friends! Well a few on this site! Every day I try to focus on the positives in my life, I can always find some of those. Even it's the fact that I can walk, see and hear, those to me are huge! I've been dealing with this illness for 28 years now also, am I getting used to it or doing better, not sure! Any time you'd like to chat I'm here for you!

How do you do that? Serious question. How have you found a way to do that?

[Hidden in reply to HearYou]

I try to be a positive person, even though I have my struggles. I try really hard to focus on the positive and not negative, I guess I try to keep the negative in. My mother always said positive breeds positive and negative breeds negative. maybe just maybe I'm trying to beat these illness!

[gogogirl in reply to HearYou]

I would like to know that also.

Anxiety_59, that is so true. I've asked close people to me, is it me with certain situations and I asked for the absolute truth no matter how hurtful it made me feel. It's helped and made me change a lot about myself for the better. Especially on loving myself first.

We must love ourselves if not then how can we expect others to love us! XXX
