That's so true! Our minds get mis-wired early on and the endless loop of negative self-talk is evident.

My very first therapist, whom I trusted, suggested to me to - wear a rubber band on my wrist and pull it slightly, and let it snap back right when I have a negative thought. It works when I remember to use it but, I have to want to help myself to do it and I'm like, meh. Thanks for your reply 🙂

I just edited my reply saw your like not sure you saw my edit 🤦😁

I find if I stay in too long my mind starts playing miserable tricks on me!

Right! Our minds are a work of art but, so harmful sometimes too. I'm not thinking right today so I hope that made sense lol

I just read your other post. I'm sorry this nurse treated you poorly. I'm glad you have taken action. You doing that is taking a stand for all of us. I thank you for that

❤️❤️

in reply to Dolphin14

Thank you for that. She kinda traumatized me so I felt I must report it. I didn't even process it for a few days. Now I know she was quite disrespectful and verbally abusive. That's just not right. The mentally ill like me, are among the most sensitive people. Thank you, again.

I know what you mean. Because I was at thedoctors office and my son was passing out I left at my appointment time across the street to get him food and two minutes later the doctor is yelling at me in front of my kids about how important his time is I am never going to him again he is unneeded.

in reply to Starrlight

Omg! That's reprehensible!! We should all be treated with dignity and respect, they took an oath and, I'm sure signed a contract to treat patients with care, empathy and consideration. I won't stand for it. I froze in the moment in disbelief but I got a grip on it now. I'm sorry that happened to you guys.

Yesterday I ended up having a great day out after I was terrified in the morning and the night before about getting a crowded early bus to go to an interview for 10am.

What I did was had a think about what is it that upsets me about the early bus and why and was there anything I could do to help myself through it and I went on the early bus anyway and it was busy but not horribly crowded like an evening one was a couple of weeks ago when I had felt absolutely terrified but had seen it through and survived it!

Years ago I had a chat with my ex boyfriend and had said I had an interview at a place for 3pm and he had said don't you prefer early starts?

My answer was how in life we can't always do what we like every time and how I didn't mind doing a late appointment for a change and how I feel it does you good not to get your own way all the time as it teaches you new things and helps you be a better person although in some ways it would be nice if we could always get our way in life it wouldn't be good for us as we wouldn't learn anything new about ourselves and life would be boring if we always got our own way on every occasion!

Often when you have time to calm down and think things through and look back you come to realise how not having had your way was the best thing that could have happened to you like with me recently when a flat in the North Road fell through as it was available supposedly from mid June and then I received the letter off the bailiffs saying they were coming to evict at the end of May meaning that one was dead in the water!

Now looking back I feel when the bailiffs delivered that letter saying they were coming to evict at the end of May by accident they stopped me from having made a big mistake as I reckon I would have hated it living up there!

It's weird the way life steps in and tells you no to things!

in reply to Turnipgirl

So true. It's crazy this whole life thing!

Many years ago at a previous job the registration department had brought up some prescriptions for us to sort and lots of people had moaned and the line Manager had shouted at those moaning and had come round asking everyone did they want to take the days that we were sorting as leave and I had said no thank you I would put with the sorting for now and how we can't go through life just doing things we like ad infinitum and I would rather save my leave for when I wanted it.

She had said to me how that is a very sensible and mature attitude to have!

in reply to Turnipgirl

I agree with you for sure.
