Someone here recommended "Think Forward to Trive". I don't like doing exercises in books these days, but i am forcing myself as it is all meant to heal.

I got in upset a while back when a friend wrote to me that all self help books work. I felt really upset because i READ a lot of self help books and a lot didn't help. I feel like i read the whole section sometimes. I think there might be a lot of people here who might feel the same way. I will admit that David Burn's book, "Feeling Good" was one of the most helpful book. It helped me to talk back to myself and stopped me from waking up every morning being upset and angry. I mean it was the most wonderful thing to happen to me.

Since people abandoned me, i reading now, "taming your outer child". This one you deal with 3 parts of you. You write exercises.
I listened to her audiobook last week or so, "the Journey fron Abandonment to healing." Though i think i might have that book about 9 years ago when my sufferring began.

I am listening to audiobook, "the woman who changed her brain". Don't really know how this one is going to help. I do feel now there is damage done. Listening to this i think i might have learning problem, but don't know how to get it fixed. I mean i can't go to her place.

This audiobook "the tools: transform your problems into courage, confidence and creativity". This one is more about being spiritually connected. I sort of already have learned this on my own. One thing i guess i am going to learn is to go through my pain. Really go head into the pain. I mean i really hate to do that because it is very painful. But if we really go into the pain and you might be able to learn the lesson and heal from it.

I have read another book about 3 years ago about a woman who had anxiety. Her main focus of the book was go through the anxiety and accept it. Then she said that she was able to live her life. It comes and then it goes but that it doesn't affect her anymore and that is how she said she cured herself.

Listened to "rainy brain, sunny brain". I really thought this would be a how to book but it isn't! I think the last chapter was the only helpful one. One thing i learned is that negative people see the negative in life. And then you would assume that happy people see balance of negative and positive and then decide to be positive. nope! The positive people filter out the negative and just see the positive. That really was a surprise.

This is really strange. I decided to focus on doing the self help book but sonehow i end up doing other things and have not done much exercises. And now it is the weekend.

I hope people here keep me on track! Please. Thank you!

I have been focusing mostly on "Trive" book as i am focusing on the future. I really got tired of going back in my life. This is future directed therapy. It is saying that we need to focus on the future. Like having something to look forward to. For me it have been so hard with so many failures in my life. I really mean a lot of failures.

Like i wrote i have already done my search on spirituality. It really helps to connect to something bigger than you when everything falls apart. I admit that i am part of a weekly thing for i think 10 weeke (session) where it's healing through online. I really have a problem connecting to spirits. I am willing to try almost anything that helps people out. I really don't know.

Back to "the tools". I just heard a new thing, "you don't have to believe but if it works than it works" the saying was something like that. I don't know, the reading i have been coming upon is that you have to believe. You have to believe that your future is the way you visualize.
