I really need some kind of affirmative, telling me that what I've been taught up to this point is wrong. I'm okay, I'm not sick, and things will be okay. Tell me I'm doing good in my life instead of pulling the rug from underneath me. Tell me I'm not crazy and not to blame as their assumptions lead them to. I'm feeling like I'm at wits end. I'm doing good and believing in myself and then I'm let down. Why? Why can't you just tell me I'm doing good for once?

I don't know you, but try to keep a positive attitude about yourself. Others opinions and thoughts are just that. THEIRS. It's hard but you aren't crazy and you got this.

Relax. You're not crazy. If you can write that note, you're miserable, not crazy.

You are doing good. You are not crazy. Cut yourself some slack and try not be so critical of yourself. One thing that is sooo hard for me is to learn how to love yourself. I believe if we can learn to love ourselves, a lot of our other issues subside. You care enough to post here and you want credit/aknowledgment for all the good you have accomplished. You are important. Be gentle with your self-talk going forward. Be brave at heart.

You are NOT crazy, and things will be okay. You are doing good, and don’t let anyone make you believe otherwise.

[MickeyCheeky]

You are not crazy - you're trying your best.

You are not crazy You are dealing with problems and thats the key word dealing. I mean dealing as opposed to running away from your problems. Give yourself credit and remember you can't please everybody. Believe in yourself.

Crazy is such a relative term. What exactly IS crazy? Why is it so bad to be this way?

At any rate, you're just fine the way you are. You are just going through and dealing with quite a lot right now and that can send anyone into deep waves of self doubt. Why not try to do some self care? Take a nice long bubble bath, do something you really enjoy like arts and crafts, working with your hands in some way, or stimulating your mind with puzzles and brainteasers. Do that and you'll feel better in no time!

You’re not crazy. Being sick and being crazy is 2 different animals. You may have a mental illness, I don’t know. But mental illness is treatable and it is possible to have a happy life.

It helps to get positive feedback, for sure!

When we feel like we are not getting it, we have to embrace and affirm ourselves.

When people say things, I take what they say & see if there is any piece of truth in what they say. Then I figure out how or if it applies to me.

I have the ability to discern what applies & what doesn't to my life. I keep what does & toss the rest away & then see how I might apply.

Some people just offer useless comments, others commrnts can have some value for me to see things in a different light & learn & grow from. After all that is what learning & growing is all about. NOT taking EVERYTHING everyone says but that which applies & can help.

Tell me I'm doing good in my life instead of pulling the rug from underneath me.

actually neither approach is the right way....when something idn't going well one NEEDS to be told BUT they need to be helped in a mentoring way so they can learn how to fix what isn't going well & not have a rug pulled out from under. This ALL takes work on everyone's part.

My X-H is the kind of person who has things go bad but never hears what anyone has to say. He gets rugs pulled out from under him constantly because of his inabikuty to hear what he has been told & no, he is NOT going to be ok & is ending up homeless because of it. One has to approach life wuth wisdkm & common sense. Don't ignore the warnings but don't take everything as fact either.

To tell a kid who is running in circles in the outfield that he is doing good & will become a orofessional baseball player like that is just plain foolishness. What the kid needs is someone to help him lesrn to play baseball & eirk with him & if there is still no interest, find skmething else he is more interested in.

Hang in there you are the best you can. I try to focus on what makes me happy.
