Hello WDC,

Thanks for saying hi and such. Welcome to the forums!

wdc, I'm in agreement with Goofy, you've got plenty of great qualities that have already come through in many of your posts. Have you started the program? The program and CBT in general are fantastic methods to challenge some of your core beliefs and assumptions. Have you ever tried to challenge some of your negative thoughts? Keep challenging yourself to come up with 5 positives, there are certainly plenty that other members have pointed out here. Every small step, post, smiles is a huge accomplishment. Keep on embracing these small successes and setting goals to work towards! Brenna, Bilingual Health Educator

It's ok wdc. You are not in a place where you can answer right now, I'll wait. Actually, I'll start you off - You are compassionate. To do your job you have to be, otherwise you would not be any good at it. You photograph the children you work with. This means that they mean something special to you. Just consider this for a bit, there is a positive there.

Do what you can to get ready for Thursday. Can your Dad bring you some supplies? That might help you get ready, at least give you something to eat in the house. It's not easy to motivate. Life sometimes requires more than we are able to give but it expects a response anyway. Probably best in a way, otherwise depression would be allowed to rule. Do what you can or maybe just what you must, the rest will wait until you have more strength.

Let me know how you're doing

wd,

From your job working with kids, I bet you have patience, caring, kind, considerate, and creative. There are five I would guess just from knowing what type of work you do. Mom of 3, mentioned a couple from your taste in photography (and I agree). A couple more positives I can figure out here - you are intelligent, can express yourself, you have feelings. Build from there or pick five - I know I haven't missed the mark, from what you have said thus far. I bet others on here could find some too. Glad you keep posting. You also seemed to be determined (another positive). Keep coming back!

Those are great. And they are all core aspects of who you are. Nice. Sounds like you do a lot for others.

I have been thinking and will continue to do so. Ridiculous and embarrassing but I can't think of one that I could write down and be truthful.

Can I digress? I have had yesterday and today off for the Jewish holidays. Tomorrow is it and I am beginning to panic about Thursday. One of the problems in being alone is... being alone. I haven't been out since I left work Friday. There are so many steps involved. I am hungry and thirsty but there is nothing in my apartment. In order to go out I would have to be able to shower (or at least brush my hair) find relatively clean clothes (oh God when will I be able to do laundry- I need quarters and have to go downstairs to do that) And somehow I have to get work done before I go back. F!@#%! I am ?? I don't know. I keep typing and deleting words.

I really don't remember what I said when I was asked the first time - I think it was Rose or Goofy who gave me the challenge. It was a good one because it made me think in terms of positives instead of negatives.

I'll write 5 again but want to see 5 from you even if it's 5 separate posts to get them - Deal? (Just from the nature of your job I can give you one already)

1. I am truthful. (I write this because I do not seek to decieve. There are issues about my personality that cause me to hide from people and I guess that this could be considered lying. Being truthful is something I was raised to be.) 2. I am compassionate. 3. I am very good at my job. 4. I am loyal. 5. I diligently seek to do the right thing, morally and ethically.

I'm not sure if these are the same 5 I wrote before - likely they are close because saying nice things about myself is not "natural" for me. With that said, writing positives about yourself does challenge the negative values being held. It is a step in the right direction.

Your turn wdc....

nah, not mine. I wanted to replace the picture of me with something more generic and I had the violinists on my computer. horse...google image. I take a million pictures of the kids at school and post them on my class website, though. Point and shoot. It would be fun to play around with them. Someday if I ever get a clear head and some sustained concentration.

So nice to hear that you feel a sense of accomplishment in the things you are doing. My mind is stuck on the other page where you asked for 5 good things. What are your (top!) 5, if you don't mind my asking?

Not great but hanging in there - that's the norm.

You have some pretty neat pictures to post. If they're yours you have a great eye for composition and theme. Is photography a hobby for you?
