Being your own worst enemy

[Ellamaye]

Im Looking forward to tomorrow's plans which makes me anxious about tomorrow's plans.. which makes no sense at all..I want to be happy so I should just be happy in the moment not worry myself to bits about anticipating the moment...😩

I’m looking forward to the multivese infinite possibilities which should mean many positive outcomes but my mind has located only the negative.

My anxiety has left me paranoid and full of worry I don’t feel like I can trust people anymore so I just be alone at least I thought I can’t disappoint myself.

Your mind sounds extravagant to be able to contemplate the multiverse and endless possibilities... I have trouble deciding what sox to wear 🤣.Seriously though its fair to say you can't trust everyone but trust is still important in a healthy life x

I have known people who have the same problem. They think that if something good is going to happen or has already happened, then they’re going to be punished by having something bad happen to them. This is usually brought on by guilt or low self-esteem.

I would suggest that , you read a good book on cognitive behavioral therapy because it addresses exactly this kind of thinking. One of the questions that you can ask yourself is: what is the worst thing that can happen? What is the best thing that can happen? What is the most likely thing that can happen ? This allows you to step back and look more objectively at what you’re thinking and hopefully come to a more realistic understanding.

Thankyou and things did go wrong and not to my expectations but still it wasn't that bad and I had fun despite the worry .

When I go to job interviews I ask myself what's the worst that can happen and the worst thing is not getting the job which isn't the end of the world!

Going to a Halloween party. Important for me because I can wear a mask and hide lol

[Ellamaye]

I went and despite the worry and things not going to my exact plans I went and I had fun and that's a win for me. Won't be going anywhere for foreseeable future so I'll hold it in my memory
