why can't i remain positive


for 19 år siden 0 15 logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo 0
i always tell myself that i am my own worst enemy. i just spent the last two days with my sister and she was not about to allow me to have the negative thoughts. everytime i tried to take the negative path, she steered me toward the positive path. this is the longest period of time that i have been able to, for the most part, remain positive in a long time. combination of meds, therapy and my sister's persistence or whatever, but i felt like a new person the past two days. now the key is to figure out how to do it myself. i am now back home and by myself. can i be successful? i keep telling myself that yes, i can. it is the baby steps that lead to success i think. i know it won't happen overnight but the baby steps i took have made me feel like i can maybe take a little bit bigger step next time.

You said it exactly - vicious cycle! My days usually start out ok, then slowly goes down hill. I guess I spend time thinking about all the bad things in my life and well those negative thoughts come rushing into my head. We have to sooth that inner child and tell her that everything is ok. We always feel the need to comfort and nurture others, but for some reason we seem to neglect ourselves. So why don't you give yourself a big hug and say, "it will be ok". Take those small baby steps and don't rush yourself. K

Oh wow, I had to look twice to make sure this wasn't my post! I know exactly how you feel! The negative thoughts seem to plague my mind and I just don't know how to make them go away. Yesteray I kept telling myself, please give me the strength to make it through the rest of the day. I also kept telling me that those were feelings and not facts. It really didn't help much, but I needed to try before I sunk any lower. Good luck with keeping your chin up!! xoxo K

Thank you Starr. I have been trying to identify the triggers and i am pretty certain i know what triggered the panic attack yesterday. what i have to be able to do when this happens is refocus my thoughts in a positivie way. it is so easy to revert back to the negative way of thinking and that is what i have done. i am hoping i can avoid backsliding to the point i was several weeks ago. i have a wonderful book that was recommended to me and although i have already read it, i find myself picking it up again to assist me in channeling my thoughts in a more positive way. i hate that i am my own worst enemy. Thanks again for your thoughts.

hi i went to see my therapist too and this is what she said i thought it may help, When you have an attack, make a mental note of the things you are thinking about before,how you feel during and after then write it all down in a book. She said you will find that there is always a pattern and when you know what that is you will be more aware of it to try and bring it to a stop. She said that everything even depression has a pattern to it and she said writing things down is a very very good way to start pin pointing things and working them out as your language and verything changes when you really get into it.

why is it that i can feel so good one day and then feel so awful the next??? i have done a reasonably good job of remaining positive since my last therapy seesion two weeks ago but this morning was a disaster. i had a dream about my boss getting angry at me about the amount of work i had sitting on my desk. i felt this sense of panic when i woke up. i drive an hour to work and the whole way there i tried to keep my thoughts positive and talk myself out of the negative thoughts. i got to work, struggled to force myself to get out of my car. as i was riding in the elevator, the sense of panic increased and by the time i arrived on my floor, i was in the midst of a full blown panic attack. some friends at work managed to talk me through it and i remained at work and tried to make the best of it. i always feel so emotionally drained after i have a panic attack. i feel now like i am back to square one and have to start all over again re-enforcing the positive aspects of my life and pushing the negative thoughts away. it is tough and i sometimes wonder if i will ever be successful at it.
