Jealousy

THAT would probably bother me..along with looking at the clock every five minutes. I had on...

Yep I wouldn't like that either-

notice sometimes that my therapist stifles a yawn during my sessions. I hate this!

My therapist has done this, I pretend to not see but I do and I hate it too. But then he sees patients back to back from 8am to 6pm, my appointment is at 2, soon after his lunch so im sure its a human thing and not a me thing but I still hate it!

@Snowflake i dont feel jealous of other clients my therapist has but I have been guilty of feeling very jealous of others on the forum. Not necessarly replies or non-replies by a MOD, they're only one person and I know they care but ive felt jealous that some are more liked and why, what do they do that i dont or dont do that i do. Am i not trying hard enough. And then that leads to self loathing, self frustration, self hatred etc.

I dont think its abnormal. Even young girls inside of healthy homes are being taught by tv, magazines, and now the internet that skinny equates beauty and beauty equates success and popularity. I find it sad. We need to learn to love whom we are.

I think it would be a good thing to bring up to your therapist. It will be hard but I think it will help to learn how to take those steps to loving you for whom you are and not whom you think you should be and then would not be jealous because you love you for you and your individuality.

Yep we talked about this in our session. It's the CPTSD -very needy, attachment issues. Etc

@Snowflake im glad you spoke about it with your therapist! I can see the attachment issues. It helps me to have the "name" of the issue, then I can sort of set up an attack plan of you will!

I've dealt with feelings of jealousy before, but I get past it pretty quickly. It really resides in not getting enough healthy, yes healthy attention in general. I have fleeting feelings of jealousy here and there, but it is pretty minute these days. I'm more concerned with jealous people harming my current relationships actually, because such behaviors are very self-destructive.

*hugs* I hope you can find some peace of mind and self-love. Self-love helps a lot. Best wishes.
