avoid the negative people, you don't need that around you.

I know I don't it's hard tho wen the negative people I see are some of my family

[Jillymazda in reply to Hidden]

I totally understand, I was continually told to pull my self together by my mother and that is of no use whatsoever. If you had a broken leg or similar they would be helpful I am sure. Have you tried explaining to them just how you feel?

Hi. I find that when I am falling and in a low place I seem to notice and focus on the negative things people say and do more then usual. I will then hold on to these and forget about or not notice the good things. A negative thought diary can really help with this. Have you tried CBT?

[Hidden in reply to Sclarkstone]

Hi thank u for your reply I know what you mean

does keeping a negative thought diary really work what is CBT ?

[Sclarkstone in reply to Hidden]

It really does work. At first it will be pages long but after a while it will get smaller. Have a column for:

1. the thought

2. how you felt

3. what the rational thought could be

4. a silver lining.

So for example:

1. I am rubbish at my job

2. tired and unmotivated

3. It's ok to not be 100% productive everyday

4. I am lucky to have a job

Do this for every negative thought, when you complete all the columns you end on a positive so you are turning that negative thought around.

CBT is Cognative Behavioural Therapy, it is basically teaching yourself to think in a positive way and breaking the negative cycle
