I try to look for guidance on how to ignore negative thoughts and focus on me but always end up back in the same place again. How can I show this person I'm trying my best? Why do they think so poorly of me when they don't even know me? But really it should be more like Why do I let these negative things affect me so much? or How can I stop worrying about what everyone thinks about me all the time? Things used to be a lot more simple when I was "on track" and doing what I was supposed to. Now that I struggle those voices seem louder than before.

"Why are you asking for help, you're an adult?"
"Don't make excuses just do it."
And so on.

All I want is for people to see things from my view but that's impossible. I wish things could be like they were and I'm happy again. Thx everyone! I may have more later but I'm pretty drained right now.
Everyone gets to live their life as they choose. Take the good and leave the rest. No one will ever agree 100%.. do not waste your energy on advice that does not fit into your life.. or try to make someone understand that has not walked in your shoes. I know this is hard to do..practice
