Hi Deborah,
The thoughts are coming again. I want them to stop.
@humorousBeing8966
Can we distract you from them? What can you tell me about you?
Favourite joke, favourite music, favourite memory?
@DeborahUK
It's just that what they said or did changed how I saw the world. It changed how I saw myself.
That I'm not worthy of comfort, of love, of enjoying myself, of having favorite things.
Everything I do or did isn't good for anyone or myself.
Maybe it was always there, how I wasn't deserving, but it became too overwhelming after.
Maybe I still like my teddy bear though, because it was from myself.
@humorousBeing8966
Yes, what they said or did. Not you, but what they said and did.
People lie, they say mean things, they hurt others. Youve been at the receiving end of that. But it doesnt mean what they said and did was correct, or right, or true. It was mean, spiteful, demeaning. But not true.
@DeborahUK
How come they get to move on and be happy living life? How come I'm still here trying to stay alive?
@humorousBeing8966
Its not fair is it? Thats for sure.
But you dont have to accept those things that have been said about you. You can change the beliefs you have about yourself. I know thats hard, but you have to start somewhere. How are you getting on with Kites challenge? One thing about you that makes you smile.
@DeborahUK
Maybe my love and affection for my stuffed teddy that I had personified to get me through my tought times, but that is just silly. No one will think that's normal.
@humorousBeing8966
I think that
@humorousBeing8966 I don' t know how this actially working, it is my first post.......It 's not silly, I also do this...Teddy is the best
@plumDog9398
Spencer didn't protect me though, even though he was there the second time around.
He doesn't get as much love anymore because he is an extension of myself and I can't love myself as much anymore as it'll only lead to it being taken away again.
I guess I thought it was silly because I had thought he would protect me, and or that I wished so badly someone was there. But it was only me and him, and I couldn't protect myself. He didn't want to proceed in a way that wouldn't harm me either.
What else could be comforting if everything that was comforting before is associated with the bad?
If everything new is a reminder of how it was?
@humorousBeing8966
I think it's normal!! I have my stuffed teddy bear to and I have to sleep with him and he helps me feel safe and calm down and my counselor said there is no shame in that!!
@humorousBeing8966
*big hugs* you are amazingly strong Being.. Much love and sending you positive thoughts..
