I find that thinking of things as one thing or the other can be very destructive.
A child by nature is weak, and vulnerable - but can show huge amounts of strength through adversity and an amazing capacity for understanding, even though we tend to assume adults know best and have more knowledge.
Would it not be better to ascertain what it is that destructive voice is trying to achieve, and why?
I agree with this from Makedamnsure's comment:
"If something has upset you, then its upset you. Telling yourself over and over that its not worth being upset about doesn't really help. Far better to accept that it upset you, see if there is anything you can do about it, and then move on.
I don't think you are weak in the slightest.
But I think you expect a lot from yourself, and I think you have a tendency to over think things too occasionally. "
Thinking of you - and sorry for being out of contact lately.
