My T wanted me to write down a list of positive and negative things about myself for our session tomorrow, and having left this 'til the last minute, I'm having a hard time coming up with ANYTHING, even the negatives (which I thought would be super easy!)

So far I have:

+
creative
artistic
genuine
honest
trusting
trustworthy
laid-back
intelligent
witty (sometimes!)
literate

-
indecisive
pessimistic
cynical
procrastinator
lazy
overweight
naive
directionless
clueless
passive
"quiet"
defensive
untidy
irritable
no willpower
boring
pathetic

Okay, so this may be kinda cheating, but has anyone had to write similar things for T? How did you come up with things to write? Or if you really want to help me cheat () is there anything you think I should add to either list?

What I have found, writing this list, is that I just don't feel like I know 'me' anymore. At one time I would have wrote things like 'reliable' or 'self motivated' in the Positives column, but I don't know if I can truly say those things about myself anymore -- with the anxiety and depression, sometimes I'm not in control, and I feel powerless to do what I want/need to do. I didn't fully realise how much I have changed until I came to write this list tonight. Maybe that is what T wanted me to figure out...?

Thoughts?!

Just wanted to share
