In reply to good events feel BAD, posted by pseudoname on October 26, 2005, at 14:53:51
Oh I know too well how you feel. With me, I had felt bad for so long that it felt awkward or weird when good things were happening. The bad felt normal, and the good abnormal. It was, of course, a great lie.
What you have to do is the hardest thing on here, at least to me, even harder than going through the meds. YOU NEED TO WORK ON YOUR THINKING PATTERNS. You need to change the way you look at things, perceive an event. If 99 out 100 things go right, you need to think "I had a great day" rather than "why did that one thing go wrong."
It is soooo tough. It is a battle of the mind. And it takes practice. Improvement takes a while. You did not get into this situation overnight and you will not get out of it as quick.
However, trust me, there is HOPE. You can do it, if you so desire. It will be hard, but worth it. E-mail me if you need any thought exercises at sportscarvell@aol.com
