I think, I say the word "crazy" a billion times in my head.

"i'm not crazy, I'm not crazy, I'm not crazy"

just about every other day.

So maybe stop saying the word "crazy" daily? Find a more positive word, or chant or motto.

Why not wake up do a self check and see where your at emotionally.. The go forward with your day based off the result of your self check.

Ex...... I wake up and self check and feel blah, sad, just unhappy.. I find things to do to lift me up, up beat music, Exercise and diet always makes a huge difference.

If I wake up spazzing out, I exercise and find activities that slow me down, quiet things , like reading, calming music.

The real point is find ways to treat yourself kindly. Learn to stop using negatives to describe your life...

Keep a bowl full of them on little slips of paper and pull one out , can often flip your mental self image.

Just ideas for you to consider.

Focusing on the negative, even in the attempt to feel more positivie ie telling yourself "I'm not crazy" several times...usually only keeps the negative inside. How about replacing it with positive self-talk? Im guilty of it too! How about instead of saying "Im not crazy" over and over....you recite a small list of things you are. For instance:

-I have personal struggles but I am strong!
-I am a fighter!
-I am special and there is no one else like me!

Does that sound like a possible positive self-talk you can try? Personalize it for you, but keep it positive!
