Positive Messages

[Sandstone]

There may already be a thread this belongs in, if not let's collect the supportive stuff that helps keep us going.

I was feeling guilty and ashamed , and that I didn't deserve therapy, so googled.

I came up on this post http://themighty.com/2016/01/22-messages-for-people-who-think-they-dont-deserve-therapy/ and within it this, which is propelling me onwards.

I've read in National Geographic this morning that they suspect that Marilyn Monroe had Borderline Personality Disorder and that Albert Einstein was ADHD. There are a lot of folks throughout history that were famous and achieved many positive things in life who had some kind of mental challenge. I say CHALLENGE because PTSD is not, so I have heard, a mental illness. The last post in this thread is indeed true, it is about what happened to us. Anyway, I am sure there are plenty of famous folks who suffered with PTSD and made something of their lives anyway, just as we often can do with our lives too! GO for it, folks.

Found this one, but can't get the image to show in here. Have to remind myself of the last line all the time.

I include one of my numerous mantras I have written over the past three years,

"I used to be that ugly caterpillar creeping along on my belly,
Now I am transformed into that wonderful Butterfly,
flying gracefully towards the sky,
keep looking and we can all find our inner beauty"

'You are not a bad person, you're a very good person who bad things have happened to.'

That one is very challenging
