Re: Turning Negatives Into Positives
Negative: I feel like a failure and a burden to everyone around me. Why do I keep wasting people's time when I never get any better?
Positive: they obviously believe in me because they're still trying to help me. If they truly thought I was beyond help they wouldn't still be putting in the effort
Negative: everything is just going to get worse
Positive: I don't know that. I can't predict the future
Negative: I want to die so so badly all the time
Positive: I haven't attempted anything yet
No human being, however great or powerful, was ever so free as a fish

Re: Turning Negatives Into Positives
You've done a fantastic job turning those negatives to positives @lokifish! Nobody is beyond help and with the right support you CAN recover. I wish there was something I could say that would make it better, I'm thinking of you

Re: Turning Negatives Into Positives
Neg: woke up with nightmares, thinking spirits were trying to kill me
Pos: called SCBS, then tried to go back sleep with big ted, but didn't, so watched netball
Neg: started feeling really scared about being in my room
Pos: went and made food because I have work tonight
Neg: started shaking and going hysterical for a couple of hours
Pos: tried STOP skill, hugging big ted, putty; came on RO (not sure if that's a positive )
Neg: got too scared to go in my room; I couldn't stop shaking and wanted to do something very unsafe
Pos: finally got through to the same person at SBCS again, had a shower (and changed my clothes like 3 times )

Re: Turning Negatives Into Positives
@Ben-RO I want to take big ted with me to my appointment but it might look a little weird carrying a giant teddy
