The idea that you doubt your mental health and your eligibility for support. Do you ever do this? I find myself every so often saying "Maybe I'm not really as [insert disorder here] and I'm using up precious resources because I'm lazy, or stupid, or just unmanageable etc." Sometimes we compare ourselves to others, or just undermine our own struggles.


When you feel this way, what do you do to combat it? Tonight I'm going through some emotions in this area and I wish I had better skills to negate those feelings/thoughts, but sadly I don't other than maybe a mantra of "You deserve happiness, and therapy and medications have helped you get closer to that, and your goals. You're doing something right.... even if I'm wrong."

Anyway, anyone relate?
