ok so this is just me venting ok ,as far as getting councilling goes I have decided to get in contact with relationships Australia on monday for phone councilling I plan to ring them on monday next week meanwhile I am reaching out to family and still overthinking,anxiety which Im now projecting on others a bit too much ,I said to one family member this morning that I either need a holiday or I need to go to the phyche ward to get away from myself,im sorry Im always so negative on here the struggle is changing my mind to positive thoughts in regards to myself Im usually much kinder to those around me all though at times now Im not being kind to them too I feel as if my anxiety has made me lie to myself hard to tell which of my thoughts are based on real and true facts at the momment it seems like alot of my thinking to myself is lies and mostly wrong,I literally had a family member exlain the other day that what I was thinking in the momment wasnt true and that they where not thinking such things that I thought they where thinking of me ,in terms of today I dont want to deal with the messy house and despite needing and wanting to be social probably excessively social at times maybe to ward of anxiety or whatever is going on in my head its crazy to think that you cant trust your on thoughts cause of anxiety,depression,at the moment today I need to hibernate in one room of the house and just block things out but its hard to block your own flawed thinking about yourself I may try watching shows that are comedy rather than serious ,as the saying goes all work no fun and I supose being social can in itself feel like work at times cause Im just trying so hard to improove myself in all different areas of my life,Im taking on advice from family even when I dont like having to be given advice I mean I know their advice is for my own good ,unlike my thinking patterns so even though I dont like having someone tell me advice regarding issues I know its for my own good so I guess thats nearly the only thing I can trust at the momment cause my thoughts are so mixed up or too many thoughts,this weekend Ive taken off time from being social after having a day out yesetrday frankly I need to calm down my thinking,do something to relax ect you think you should be able to believe yourself right but its hard if you cant believe all of your own thoughts are actually true. so here I am in a secluded part of house scoffing corn chips and about to watch some shows to distract my thoughts I must sound pathetic how do family put up with me being like this but yet family understands and are suportive ect otherwise id be in real trouble but thank goodness there not going anywhere its good to have family along for the long haul,got a feeling I need to be more gratefull to them all right now than how Im being family right now but anyway stay well everyone,have a good weekend,I may journal all my thoughts out that might help to monday,also feel a bit undeciplined at the moment for some reason ,being so serious I need some fun take care fellow forumites LostAngel

Hi @ShiningStar

Awww thanks!

I guess what helped me to work it out is that I have DID (Dissasociative Identity Disorder, formerly known as Multiple Personality Disorder)

I try to treat my personalities with love, dignity and respect, the same as I treat other people.

One day I heard myself saying that I was Stupid (and worse) when it dawned on me that I actually could (and more than likely was) saying that to another Personality, possibly a child.

That's what originally began my apologies.

But then I began to also realise that I am also a role model in my community.

Then FINALLY I realised that my internal dialogue whether I was a Singleton or a Multiple played a huge role in my mental health,and I had the choice between heathy self narrative or unhealthy self narrative... took me years to work out!

I really hope this small thing helps you too in a huge way... stay kind and remember to start with you!!

Hi @LostAngel

I'm so pleased that you're taking care of yourself and I love your choice of activities - especially eating left over pizza

I really get a sense of how hard you're working despite everything that is happening for you and that you're doing the very best that you can which is amazing

Take care,

ShiningStar

Hi @Shazi55

Thank you so much for sharing a piece of your story with me

It sounds like quite a journey and you have worked so hard to be able to change your inner dialogue!

Although I still have a long way to go, the description that you shared about apologizing to yourself has given me so much to think about and a wonderful place to start

Thank you

Take care,

ShiningStar

My pleasure @ShiningStar

Not everything is right for everyone. All we can do is share what has helped us so that others have options to contemplate

I've taken snippets from people or just made things up as I went along

As long as we have options and do what resonates with us as individuals we can't go too far wrong

Take good care!
