A question, sweet friend... Do you recognize the part of your brain that sends out OCD messages? Do those messages make you FEEL bad? If so, maybe this will help. "Feelings are NOT FACTS."

I'm not saying that this is any way an easy thing to do. Most of my life, I've listened to my "Gut Feelings." Those aren't always "fact," either.

You and I have shared so many similar experiences and yes, feelings. Forgive me for saying it, but you seem to think I'm "wonderful." So tell me why you think YOU are such a "nothing"??? We think alike, we feel alike, we've done some of the same things, suffered over some of the same things, we love MANY of the same things... So "it doesn't compute," like my kids used to tell me.

What I'm saying is... because you feel this way about me, recognize the same attributes in YOURSELF! Throw up that "skyhook" and climb up, Girlfriend!! You are NOT a nothing!! You ARE loveable! You ARE artistic! You ARE loving! You ARE someone that matters and counts for alot! Everyone here thinks you are a beautiful person. BELIEVE IT!! It takes work, but remember, it was the turtle that won the race!
