I think a lot of people have a specific time in the day when they feel worse. Maybe you could keep that in mind so you can tell yourself that the urges should lessen. I hope you're doing ok today.

tamobhuuta 19-09-2019 02:56 PM

I feel much better today. I don't think it helped that I forgot my morning meds yesterday! Once I caught up the urges lessened.

one_step_closer 19-09-2019 06:14 PM

Ah, that's good. Are you usually quite good with remembering to take your meds?

tamobhuuta 20-09-2019 09:22 AM

I would say most days I get it right. I have a box with my doses in it and that helps.

one_step_closer 20-09-2019 12:55 PM

Brilliant. Keep up the good work. :thumbup:

Thanks for your support x

My head is telling me that I am intrinsically evil. I need to explode my evil soul. What do I do?

one_step_closer 25-09-2019 03:02 PM

I don't see anything about you that would make me think you're evil. I think you should try and focus on the opposite of evil, and what good things you already do and what good things you can do. We all have bits of bad in us anyway but it doesn't mean we need to be destroyed.

tamobhuuta 25-09-2019 05:53 PM

I feel... I don't know how I feel. Bad, guilty? Been distracting, getting tired.

one_step_closer 25-09-2019 06:24 PM

I know those negative feelings, it doesn't mean you are bad though. Well done for keeping going with the distractions. Would it help to talk to your Mum? I know that sometimes she can offer some reassurance.

tamobhuuta 25-09-2019 06:35 PM

Yeah I texted her and she was lovely, helped me look at the evidence. I'm just finding it hard to believe anyone.

one_step_closer 25-09-2019 06:39 PM

It can be hard to believe people, but why would she lie to you? I know thoughts are hard to fight at times but those thoughts aren't always the truth.

tamobhuuta 25-09-2019 06:49 PM

My therapist used to remind me of that, that feelings and thoughts are not fact. This feels so real though.

I don't think mum is intentionally lying but she can't see my soul.

one_step_closer 25-09-2019 06:50 PM

Feelings are really powerful so if they are attached to a thought no wonder it feels like the truth. I understand. Is there a safe way to dampen down the feelings?

tamobhuuta 25-09-2019 06:57 PM

I made hot chocolate to soothe myself. And I'm distracting from deep thoughts. I cleared the kitchen to prove I wasn't evil but that was for my own benefit so doesn't count as good.

one_step_closer 25-09-2019 07:24 PM

Well done, it sounds like you're trying really hard. Keep going.

one_step_closer 26-09-2019 10:49 AM

How are you today?

tamobhuuta 26-09-2019 01:41 PM

Struggling. I've got an appointment with my CPN tomorrow, not sure how to explain myself.

one_step_closer 26-09-2019 01:53 PM

Sorry you're struggling. I'm glad you will be seeing your CPN tomorrow though, will you write things like you have done before?

tamobhuuta 26-09-2019 02:43 PM

Yeah I've written some stuff.
