But those are nothing compared to the internal communication I have telling myself that there's something about me that is always wrong, that I'm no good, remembering the people who have wronged me, feeling like a failure. It's an everyday battle, wanting to feel normal, to feel like I'm "Ok". I wish I had an answer to give you, but I can only encourage you to keep focusing on the good and fill your life with successes, no matter how trivial they may seem. I try to be sure I do at least one good thing for someone else, a stranger even, and one good thing for me every day. It helps to affirm that you're a good person.
Thanks 2old. You're very inspiring. My version of doing something for others is very small. I let people pass in the supermarket and while driving. It's little, but it makes me feel better about myself. I have so little contact with other people that that's the best I can do, And Oh trying (trying!) to be kind to customer service people on the phone. They get dumped on so much and we each have the power to be nice, even if it's JUST nice (lol).
