I used to write fanfics about my fave bands.
I mean I surely could try it... but probably it would end in the same circle as it now has with trying to be a copy-cat. It's a bit like getting over a break-up I feel: still in love with that thing that used to make you happy and you want it back again, but somehow you know it isn't good for you because it makes you do unhealthy things (frantically researching things to be like them) and brings unhappiness. It's a circle without an end.
I think its awesome you write. And I think its awesome you do a lot of things. I think people with low self esteem are easy to dismiss things. And dont give themselfs enough credit for things.
Thats one thing that came up in my therapy. Things we take for granted and dismiss as everyone should do that. Or we did all this but not that other thing so the day is worthless.
Could you try doing this for a day. Say to yourself hey butterfly you got out of bed. Well done. You brushed your teeth. Good for you smetterling. Dressed. Good!
It sounds silly but it can help on a number of levels. Being a bit kinder to yourself. Realising all the things you May take for granted. And maybe get some energy to do something you love.
Thank you. I mean I try to keep myself busy though it's really hard to focus when the mind is all over the place. I will try to credit myself for the small things like getting up or dressed etc. or a dentist appointment like tomorrow morning.
Finding joy in the things I used to love will probably be a long way to go... maybe one day that will happen too xx
For the time being, try and find the joy in the little things you achieve with each day you get through. Hope you get on ok at the dentist.
Hope you get on ok at the dentist lovely...
How's the being kind to you going today?
Do a little of something that makes you happy every day!
Are you having a go at the Fab 5s thread today?
The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.
I will try to hold onto little things for now, making small process. The dentist was okay gladly! I'm blessed with nice teeth haha
Being kind to myself is going okay too. Made myself a small breakfast and my mum and I might will make pizza this evening and watch a tv show.
I'll have a look at the Fab 5s thread, thank you!.gif "(nod)")
Well done lovely! How's your mood?
Making Pizza with your Mum sounds fun!
Do a little of something that makes you happy every day!
Mood was okay during the day but in the evenings is usually worse. Find myself constantly thinking and looking at social media... the usual stuff and struggles.
Pizza is indeed lovely though.gif "(inlove)")
Can you try to limit the time you are spending on social media?
Do a little of something that makes you happy every day!
