It's. Not. Helping.
At all.
Maybe since I am new to these skills I am no good so it's not going to help. Maybe I really have zero control like I always assumed. Maybe... maybe I don't even know.
I understand things suck now and will not always. But what if they suck for 3 months. What's the point of telling myself it's not going to suck when it damn well will for months at a time?

Don't be so hard on yourself, every skill needs to be learned, practiced and perfected. Give yourself time while in practice phase. My life sucked for 14 whole months! At 1 point during month 12, giving up seemed like the only logical thing to do, but thankfully, my PC family found a way to help me through it. For 30 consecutive days, these lovely people, logged in to make sure I checked in and reported on my day and current mood! Now THAT is commitment. We can get thru these things, especially if we stick together
