Everyone is obsessed with being "happy", but genuine happiness is temporary.

I want to learn to be more content with my life and be able to live in the moment and experience a full range of feelings I deny myself all the time.

I'm tired of thinking about the past like my whole life is some kind of a conspiracy theory and everyone is out to get me.

I miss being around people and having people tolerate me; I have to learn to accept myself before I can make the effort to make friends.

I hate myself and I'm always experiencing this imposter syndrome and it makes me feel like a phony and it causes me so much distress.

I'm going to accept my limitations due to my illness from now on and stop telling myself that 'nothing is wrong' when there is something wrong.

Instead of denying myself treatment because 'seeking out help makes you weak' I'm going to respect my mind like I respect my body and seek out the right care when I need it; no one is going to tell me that I'm taking up someone's space because they are needier or more important than me anymore.

I'm giving treatment and everything else positive or constructive a hundred percent effort from now on.

A true cynic could argue with you on many points.

I know the feeling of wanting to be happy too. When I accept the now moment instead of looking towards the future, I'm more at peace with myself. I find that being happy is temporary too. I tell myself that I should stop fighting for what I think is right and just accept this moment and enjoy it. Even if everything is crappy, everything is ok and I have the tools to help myself if I find myself upset or depressed. I hope you are doing well with your goals I wish you all the best.
