Not Coping

Exuses my language @Snowie @RiverSeal

I don't normally swear unless it is needed, like in this case.

No problem @Birdofparadise8 it was justified! RiverSeal

Kids are so crule @RiverSeal

I'm sorry you had to go through all of that at school @Birdofparadise8

People can be really mean.

Look where you are now however. Studying at uni and doing what you want. Having the life you deserve.

I had two people from school want to be my friend on facebook. They were never nice to me then so why would I want them in my life now. Sometimes I just think it is a contest to see how many 'friends' you can have.

Thank you @Snowie, that means a lot.

That is true uni is going well. I could also say I'm paying for it through my depression and bullying myself.

Yeah, that is weird. I think some people want others to see how many friends they have on socials. It's an odd one, that's for sure.

Adults can be too which is when I experienced being treated badly by people. I never did at school but as an adult, I did @Birdofparadise8

That is definitely true as well @RiverSeal

I'm sorry people were mean to you. I don't get why people even do it.

Sometimes we need to give ourselves a break @Birdofparadise8 and remember to be kind to us.

It isn't easy at times however.

I write positive affirmations to myself in a book and read them when I am down. It helps me remember that I am worth the fight. I know of others that write them down and put them up around their room.

How do you let yourself believe them? I've tried it, but I feel like I'm being fake @Snowie.

I know I should be kinder, but it's just really hard.

It's a journey @Birdofparadise8 not a sprint.

Sometimes I can believe them about myself, other times it's not that easy.

I think the most important thing is that they have to come from ourselves. I actually wrote them down with my psych quite awhile ago.

We could always be kinder to ourselves, but I think it is always a work in progress.
