What do you not like about your self...

it's the altitude. I swear.

 

well, plasma screen T.V.s don't work here, so, I could buy that as an excuse.

 

really?

 

OMG MARY.....I Love you!!!!

 

I can't stand how depressed I can feel when I know deep down there isn't any reason for it. Part of me feels lost and lonely and part of me is searching for more meaning. I want to have more meaning as an individual. I have meaning as a wife and mother but not as an individual.

I feel very frustrated with repeating thoughts.

 

I've been stressing positive thinking to a lot of people lately. Especially in the form of positive reading. One thing I was doing for a while to lift myself was reading books by Ed Foreman and Dr. Vincent Norman Peele(I think that's the right name). Try reading them first thing when you wake up and last thing before you go to bed. It has a tremendous power.

Also things like an accomplishment journal. Simply listing 5 things, every night, that you feel like you've accomplished for the day.

If those ideas don't help, I'd simply recommend finding a mission - or a need - that speaks to you, and helping fill that need.

 

The power of positive thinking is way underrated.

 

Sometimes I can become too obessive or worried. One time I was so obsessed with my hair I cut it short and was so upset afterwards that I threw up a lot.

 

Thank you for your post and your reading recommendations. I will look into both of those authors.

I just finished reading a couple different "self help" books. I want to read Change Your Brain, Change Your Life by Dr. Daniel Amen.

Finding the force to change the negative thinking is somewhat impossible to do if I am trying to do it on my own. I need reminders.

Thank you again.

 

some parts of the area, up at tahoe, definitely not, they react poorly with the absence of air pressure

 

whenever I try that I just become deluded.

 

What don't I like about myself? Got time to spare?

Seriously though, I think I'm too emotional, too sentimental, I worry too much, I obsess too much. I'm also very moody, little things like the weather can affect how I see things that day (in a positive or negative frame).

 

hippychick you sound like me except I'm waaay fatter.

 

your saying that there's something wrong with delusional??
works for me 37 years now.

 

I hate that im lonely and (i think) im very unatractive and think that i will always be lonely. i also dont like my shyness and lack of motivation. like no self esteem or something. i often trap myself in my room alone and listen to music all the time, not getting out and i still live with my parents, yeah... im pretty much afraid of the world, but i am a little better at going out in public some days but other days can be pretty horrible. like being afraid of people looking at me and judging me and shit like that. its horrible, i hate it. i hate myself often because of it.

 

Damn, brother. You gotta look into changing that. Life is gonna blow right past you. Go see a therapist and get that piece figured out then you can grab life by the balls and make it your bitch!!

 

If "SpaceMopp" stick around I'm sure we all will be a therapist to her/him.

 

oh dear god, Like everybody who helps Lucky?

 

Ok, well not like that.
I mean quietly and away from the spotlight.
A kind word here and kick up the arse there.
Just good will and little time.

That is unless "SpaceMopp" turns out to be a real no hope miserablist...

 

yeah i have no hope for myself. thats part of the problem. and i wouldnt have enough money to pay for a therapist, because im too godamned afraid to even get a job.
