Katix - mind if I rewrite your 'things you hate about yourself' list?

1-I'm ugly
- watch the twilight zone (original series) episode starring Donna Douglas, then think again.
2-I'm fat
- you'll survive a famine, THEN we'll be popular!
3-I have eczema
- you're a good speller?
4-I'm a loser
- hey at least you play the game
5-I self injure
- you are coping the best you can
6-I have nothing special about me (no talents)
- the future can be anything!
7-I'm stupid (my grades suck)
- sorry, but one does not necessarily follow from the other
8-That I hate myself
- two negatives make a positive
9-I only have 1 good friend that I tell everything to
- you have 1 good friend that you can tell everything to!
10-I'm not social
- uh, you're talking to a million people here!

This was a good exercise for me - thanks! I think we did stuff like this in DBT. I have unearthed my books, BTW, and I now know where they are. But once I get my apartment cleaned & certified, I am going to sleep for a week!
