A Long Way To Go

I am most critical of critical of myself.

I pick all my flaws.

I notice all the things I cannot do.

I notice all the stupid things I do.

I notice every mistake I make.

And I contantly beat myself about it.

I never give myself credit for the things I do right.

I never ever give myself credit for any good thing I do.

Things really have to change, this list is things I notice about myself on a daily basis. And it's all negative...

Just goes to show, whilst I have come a long way in the past month depression wise. This battle still is not over. There is still a long way to go

things might look negative ... see if you can reframe these negatives and make them into a positive... for example I pick all my flaws... you could say while I have flaws I have some strengths too... for one I am honest...

I say that you are honest because you did this post...

so gradually find one thing good about yourself with each negative and balance it with a positive..

You are also very brave... to challenge the negative is a big battle... and you are doing it...

so take care... be gentle on youself

When we are depressed we all see the negatives and never see the positives. Try and turn the head talk around to positives and hopefully things will be better for you - CBT therapy.

Go Jess!!!
