Pay Yourself A Compliment

I tend to give myself a pat on the back when I achieve something I've set out for myself to do.

Or when I manage to overcome a mood that has threatened to spoil my day, or kept my short temper in check, when I've felt that frustrated that I just wanted to "lose it" with someone who has really got to me!

I personally think, that if I can manage to achieve that once, then that gives me the incentive to try and achieve it again, but it doesn't always work mind you?
 
You're getting good grades in college and you're pretty good at academic writing. You need to try and not be so angry with yourself when you don't get an A+ though, show yourself some more compassion and realize that it's okay not to be perfect all the time.

You're also a talented artist and a very empathetic person, you're doing the best you can and it's so important to remember that.
 
As much as I hate grieving, I still am practicing feeling my feelings and expressing them and trying all sorts of sorts of things to rise out of it. I am going to be eventually okay and that is one determined spirit that will not give up or quit and just stay in the black hole of depression and anxiety either.
 
You are having an atrocious time of it, and you are still hanging in there. You have dealt with some really difficult people, that other people have figuratively run away screaming from. You have faced up to some really tough stuff. You are managing the feeling flashbacks of being raped reasonably well. You have managed the suicide okay. You have been so tired. You are having a really tough time of it, getting hammered from quite a number of directions lately. You are making some tough but really good decisions.
