When depressed: “tomorrow will be better”
When scared: “it will hurt but it won’t kill me”
When tired: “let’s pause and have a cookie”

I am most comforted by things that are objective facts, because otherwise I will struggle to believe them. So my positive self-talk is more like
When I feel useless: here is a list of things I have done today
When I feel hopeless: here is a list of times I also thought things would never get better, and here is rhe point where those things got better
When I feel unloveable: here are some things people in my life have done that indicate they do indeed care about me

People are good. I tell myself how much good people are to help me with life.

Lately, what helps me is the thought that I need to believe in myself. Not blame myself for things I can’t control, even if I might want to.
It goes like this:
“Hey, you don’t have to carry all the weight alone. You’ve done and will do everything within your power, but even that won’t determine the changes of the entire planet.”
This is a very broad way of putting it, but what I mean is that we need to trust ourselves and not blame ourselves for what we can’t change, for what is beyond our power!

I remind myself of the big problems I have survived when facing smaller problems that seem insurmountable in the moment. This reminds me I can find a path around them if I am willing to.

I think how fortunate I am to be born in a 1st would country. I am blessed because without my countries support through benefits and housing and mental health support and I was born in a 3rd world country with my illness where there is no support I would be dead.

Really, I think I would have avoided a lot of misery and bad people, if I never would have smoked.

I would have handled my life better, if I had never smoked and wouldn’t have met people threatening me.

I find myself reminding myself that I am alone, out loud, late at night when I feel like I have no privacy due to the voices. I think it helps a little bit.
