Re: I keep having these feelings and I know they're destructive and unhealthy

I definitely know how that goes. I don't think I'm especially good at dealing with those thoughts so I'm not sure how much I can actually help you. So it's not like I'm an expert or anything. And it's a really tricky thing to do - there's definitely the potential, as you point out, that it just turns into something else to yell at yourself for. It's so easy to move from "I'm such a shitty person because I'm lazy and unmotivated and don't work hard enough and can't figure shit out" to "I'm such a shitty person because I get unrealistic and worked up and wallow in my own misery and feel sorry for myself".

I guess for me I just try to remind myself that I'm being unrealistic and rational, that it's not a fair or an unbiased approach. Not to change the way I'm thinking or be positive - but to just try to get a handle on it and not change it but put it in perspective and calm it down. And the key is to do so in a way that doesn't care any blame - it's not anyone's fault that I'm being irrational, it's just something that's happening and I just need to ride it out and remember that it's not real.

I don't know. I hope you can figure out something that works for you. Good luck, anon.
