This is all well and good, if you don't have serious mental health problems like in my case,MDD, GAD and BPD and we were talking about positive self talk in group therapy the other day. I am completely convinced no amount of positive self talk, is ever going to convince me I am decent human being, as I absolutely despise myself.

[gerrerd in reply to sobs1962]

It takes time, I thought the same ! but if you do it every day it builds and you begin to change slowly then one day you become a different person !

[sobs1962 in reply to gerrerd]

Well, this therapy I'm having lasts 18 months, so hopefully it'll make me think about my very negatively biased thinking and maybe I should actually listen to other people, who say I am a nice person. But ultimately it's my own opinion that counts .

Every day for the rest of your life do the work ! each day is a new start 🤗

Sobs, weirdly l am opposite to you. I know I am a nice person, but most people think I'm not. I don't think even my own family can see the goodness in me, they only see the things that irritate you.

I think you are so lucky that people say you are a nice person. I would love to be told nice things about myself.

It took me time, it was my biggest challenge to love myself, at 43 I can honestly say I was way too hard on myself growing up, I give that girl a cuddle and the younger version as a little child. You will get through this and out another end, sometimes we are stuck for a while, be as kind to yourself as you can be cuz we deserve it. We live in a crazy world with perfection and idolise impossible role models, we compare ourselves, we question are we good enough or do we even want to be here, I would loose count of the times I prayed for death so I wouldn't have to wake up to face another thick, depressing day. I sat on my own for years with no one, I was very ill with my mental health, I couldn't even look after my kids. I have stopped punishing myself about that cuz I was very damaged at the time, I'm here to say that time can improve things for us, stick in with positive people online and set yourself small goals! I wish you all the best cuz you deserve it🥰🤩

What a good message ! I always forget. I have to be remembered all the time because I’m lost in my chatter that ‘all is lost’.
