You cannot separate out the illness from the human.
Like it or not, it’s us and not just a diagnosis.
All it is is something to describe some attributes or characteristics of some defects we have. That’s it
I am a terrible person. This cannot be denied.
Have been thinking about some feedback I have been getting here, and I am of the conclusion that I am a waste of space.
Don’t even bother with me, it’s a losing battle
You are not.
But you are disturbed and seem to be resistant to bite the bullet and accept the help you’re offered even though it’s not your ideal scenario.
Once you get on a proper med dosage and receive some therapy, you’ll feel better.
I hear DBT (dialectical behavior therapy) is good for mood regulation
You’re not as bad as you think you are. Just a little stubborn about some things but that can be a positive thing too. So you get mad and frustrated sometimes? It’s a normal reaction to what we have to face with this disease on a daily basis. We all get discouraged about ourselves sometimes and we all shoot ourselves in the foot sometimes. That’s life.
Im sorry your feeling so negative. Look what at you acomplished , like running your own business. Dont be so hard on yourself.
Give yourself a break - and at least practice a bit of self-care. Why not just slob it till january?
So here’s the thing. There’s no need to wallow about in misery, or feel self defeated. Your mental illness does some things you have no control over. But you can control some things, like your feeling of self worth.
Yes, you are suffering right now. Yes, your mental illness is impacting your life in a big way. But don’t let it take over your life. Don’t let it change your feelings of worth, doubt or self respect. Don’t let it all bring you down.
The really positive thing is that you cooperate with your health team, that you do all the right things to improve your daily life. The good thing about life is that it is always fluid. It will get better and you can make changes to make it better. You can’t do this alone. You are surrounded by support and friendship here, and you have a health team there for you. Stand tall and be hopeful. It will get better.
I’ve been in your shoes. Not the exact pair, but it took a long time for me to realize that there are some aspects of my mental illness that I can control and so when I do fall into depression, or suicidal feelings, or general feeling of unwell and overwhelmed, I don’t fall as hard.
I encourage you to keep going. Things will get better. Have hope.
dude you sound really depressed. Trust me your perspective will change
@Joker, I wish I could tell you in person that I know you are great…
It’s just a period in life you are going through
Maybe new times will bring you inner peace, just take a step by step.
And don’t let your guilt overwhelm you…
I wish you peace in soul…
I am also a bad person, I blame the sz.
I see you as a good person going through a bad patch. I have never thought of you as a bad person. I wouldn’t give you the time of day if I really thought you were awful.
I am not bright light either. I hear things from idiot to mental ■■■■■■■ but I don’t act on them. I don’t know if I just misunderstood, I still don’t know English very well, only what I taught myself by trial and error. I tried schooling but it was too stressful. You are not that bad as you think you are. I believe you want to stay out of trouble take your meds and better yourself, traits like kindness,forgiving,caring,tolerance and so forth.
