He may be right to an extent but I think that takes time. He isn't the only one that has let me down. I just have to take it one day at a time and realize that there will be days that are worse than others. It's heartbreaking to struggle with this but I know I have to.Mindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05687965007079734089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4577433513043887612.post-41495176569395982822008-07-25T11:12:00.000-04:002008-07-25T11:12:00.000-04:00In therapy some years ago, I learned about negativ...In therapy some years ago, I learned about negative self thinking -- basically, whenever you catch yourself thinking, "Oh, you dummy!" or "I'm such an idiot!" you have to stop it right away. For most of us, this kind of thinking is deeply ingrained and would appear to be meaningless or harmless, but it really is a form of self-sabotage. Sure, when I bump into a doorway frame I call myself an idiot -- but I am very aware of how often I do it and try to negate it immediately. Or at least laugh it off. <BR/><BR/>It's so nice to read about how much Chris means to you.lattégirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15428087458207367848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4577433513043887612.post-47922678895072348382008-07-22T18:34:00.000-04:002008-07-22T18:34:00.000-04:00Kat - I wasn't exactly thrilled to discover this t...Kat - I wasn't exactly thrilled to discover this truth but I do embrace the fact that I have done a lot of harm to myself and it needs to stop.
