LadyMacbeth Posted April 22, 2005 Report Share Posted April 22, 2005 Doesn't matter if it is big or small list what you have accomplished this week. -Lost desire to drink. -Opened up myself in therapy. -Applied for jobs...even though I fear they will not even get back to me. -Waitied in the Bus Terminal which brings me severe anxiety without having a beer to calm me down. -Climbed up jagged rocks next to the Long Island Sound without fearing that I was going to fall in. -Believed in myself. -Bought a really good book with the money I did not spend on alcohol. Thats it. :wacko: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lauren Posted April 23, 2005 Report Share Posted April 23, 2005 I feel like a failure. Does anyone else feel like even when they do achieve something that was hard for them, that it counts for nothing because it is something that most others can manage without a second thought? It is like I can not allow myself any praise untill I am doing things that I know are equal or better than what the peers who should have been my equal are achieving? To me getting to grips with bpd traits, giving up drinking, sticking out a job for 8 months etc seem like nothing even though they where really hard for me. Just things that should have come with out a second thought. Heh, Will praise myself when I have achieved something that the average person would find impossible.

Betsy Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 extinct, just gotta say I think you accomplished a lot. You apparently only compare yourself to highly successfull people. Look around I think you'll find that you are ahead of most. Anyway I think you have reason to feel good. bets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
