Something’s not right

I hate my brain

I hate my brain

I hate the way I’m brain thinks like I know the things it’s telling me aren’t true but they feel like they are like I know my friends don’t hate me but it feels like they do so like I was at my youth group on Friday and I’m a youth leader there and I was sitting at the table and I had an air pod in and I was waiting till we started the game and then I got a dm on instagram from one of the other leaders who I’d consider a friend and it just read “ayooo might be a good idea to take your AirPod out lol 🤪 while we are hanging out 💕💕💕💕 ily” like I know she doesn’t hates me but like reading that message it felt like my heart was ripped out from my chest like I know I shouldn’t have had my AirPod in but I was trying to combat some thoughts I was having with music and I know that’s know excuse to have it in and I know she didn’t mean anything by the message it just made me feel like I was a terrible person and I really just wanted to get up and walk out that front door and never return and there’s other instances like this where I know the person doesn’t mean anything by what they say or do but it just feels hurtful and I don’t know why I am like this it really sucks cause I know it’s not true but I don’t truly believe it cause if I did I wouldn’t feel this way there has to be a reason I feel like this

Re: I hate my brain

Hey @MarronButterFly, thank you for sharing your experiences here on the Forums!

It can be challenging when someone else tells us that we are doing something they don't agree with, and it can be normal to feel the way you do. Though in times like this is can be important to think about what we can control vs what we can't control. Such as we can't control what other people will say to us, but we can control how we react.

If you think about alternative ways you can react to this situation you mind you think less negatively and ruminate less. What is another way that you can think about this situation?

You have demonstrated your strength and resilience by sharing with your peers and being vulnerable with the community!

Take care
