Oh yes, I've felt like that, and I DID completely fall apart and went into the mental hospital!

I was scared to death to go in there, because i'd seen the movie "the Snake Pit" about mental hospitals and I was SURE this place would be just like that. I knew a mental hospital must be the pit of hell -- and I'd be around insane people who would want to kill me -- but I also knew that I shouldn't be on the outside cause I was SICK.

Once I got there I knew I belonged there.

Our minds can tell us some pretty bizzare things, believe me. Mine kept telling me that people were talking about me, and it was all very negative. It kept saying that people thought I was a "bad woman" if you get my drift. And I was NOT of course. But I didn't know how to comvince anyone that I wasn't. Of course in real life nothing like this was going on, but I didn't know this. LOL My mind was just going ape.

The best thing I ever did was go into the mental hospital. I'd needed care for a long time, and I finally got it.

I'm not telling you to go into the hospital, but IGNORE what your mind is telling you IF YOU CAN. Try to replace those thoughts with positive things. Think of blue skies & flowers, etc. Try anything you can to keep from thinking the negative thoughts. I know it's hard. But don't let those thoughts overtake you like I did. Make them go away! I wish you the very best. God bless you sweetie and take care. Hugs, Lee
