Self condemnation

[Meadowsweet]

my T has said something similar too and while I would not treat others as I do myself, I have a hard time still with myself. Maybe it will get easier in time.. I always have that "BUT" reason for why I am different from a friend.

Yes, it does take time, and hard work to keep correcting those thoughts, but in the end it becomes more natural..

Have any of you found ways to become more accepting of yourself?

I haven't found anything yet, but I read through @anthony thread on Self-Talk and subpersonalities and I find it to be helpful and there is an assignment, like your therapist, to do. I plan to put it to use today and see if I can make some changes:

sorry for taking a while to post, haven't felt the best but I have read all of your posts. Bristol has alerted me 3-4 times since I woke up 30 minutes ago, so we will see how much I can post. My blood sugar is fine and I just ate, so I'm not really sure what she is alerting too..

@RussH That is a possibility. My T also mentioned trying to look at him as different than a parent. I can say I have listened to some christian music the past few days and have tried to make myself really listen to their meanings..

@Faith Hope Charity very well said. I am trying to make myself believe this again.. I am realizing the issue is me, and not God..

You have a magic word and an ability to see both sides of the fence. Kay. So take that list of 20, add a but at the end of each, and find the strength.

your post made me laugh :). I think my T would like this thought ^^ so I will try it, not going to promise that I will believe any of those buts..

Thank you for the link @Bookoffee

Sorry guys that I am not able to post more, I have tried posting since last night… I really don't know why I am feeling this bad..

@FindingMyself88 listen to mercy me's song about when the hurting and the hearer collide. Sorry I don't remember the name of the song, but it should be easy enough to find.
