I'm really odd when it comes to this. I have a whole system in place to deal with these voices. I get them too, yes. And I treat them like they were someone else. I don't identify the negative things that I think and hear as coming from me. It's like someone else is telling me these things. And I challenge them. I really do. So when they tell me that I'm going to fail or that the job is too big and I won't finish... I do it out of spite! I constantly challenge them until I find my own voice that tells them off.

I am very complicated in this area, they are not things I do by choice, but learned automatic responses. This leads me thinking I'm invincible though, cuz I challenge the negative voices and win. when I fail though, it can throw me into a deep depression. that's why I will never commit to quitting smoking. ONly wearing the patch and cutting back on it, cuz the voice wins every time in that area and I always wear myself out trying to win and end up depressed.

sorry for the confusing post, but thought I would share my experiences with it.
