Hello Everyone,
Lately i have been overwhelmed with the thoughts i have been having, specifically as they relate to my sister in law.
She like me just had her first baby, and all i do is compare myself to her, i don't know why? I can't stand seeing her looking better than me, thinner than me, and as much as i try to suppress these emotions, they seem to stem back up and i don't know why. I try also to be close to her by talking about our babies, arranging a time for us to take our babies on a walk, but as soon as i see her baby dressed nice less or greeted by others more than my baby, or LIKED on Facebook a million times more than my baby, i get a sad feeling ... (maybe its jealousy)... WHAT DO I DO?

I did a lot of reading, and i know it is mainly because i dont think to highly of myself therefore i compare. but thinking or knowing that DOES NOT HHELP ME STOP THE PROBLEM.. SO WHAT DO I DO?????????? She seems comfortable around me, she isn't jealous and goes on her day normally. She is my sister in law after all and I CANNOT avoid her at all, unless i plan on getting a divorce which is NOT something i wish or desire. So what is the solution? She is someone i have to see often,,, and hope to befriend with potentially but for some reason its not clicking, and i think it is really my problem not hers.. .WHAT DO I DO???

HELP
