Re: Turning Negatives Into Positives
Negative: Not feeling so great at the moment. Got some pretty neg thoughts running through my mind and I'm feeling overwhelmed...
Positive: I've been able to identify the feeling, the cause! I'm pretty sure I know tonights trigger. KHL counsellor would be happy with that (:
Negative: My good mood was brought down by the fights with my younger brother. I just don't know how to cope around him anymore. I cannot say anything about him without it being really negative, he's not really a bad kid. I can't even be around him long before fights break out. It's really making living at home really hard for me right now And it hurts, because I never wanted to be this kind of person. It's like a knife in the chest...
Positive: I'm catastrophizing again. Yes certain parts of being at home are hard, but he's not to blame. I am doing the best I can, I just need to keep reminding myself of that
Negative: There is so much going on around me right now, yet so little to focus on. I kinda feel like I'm up the creek without a paddle on a very still day!!! No wind to push me, no paddle to row myself...
Positive: I guess I can sit and wait for the wind to come and give me a push... Meanwhile I'm left with my own thoughts.
Negative: At times I question why I am doing the things I am. I question my ability to fight through. My own sense of self is damaged.
Positive: I'm fighting it. I'm trying to keep my head above water and not be permanently dunked...
Negative: I feel like I'm not making sense. That I'm just digging myself a bigger hole. Like I'm just making myself feel bad by attempting this tonight...
Positive: To me it kinda makes sense. I am trying to figure myself out! I am going to head ovre to Everyday Life to find some positives in today

Re: Turning Negatives Into Positives
Negative: Oh god oh god two exams tomorrow, one on tuesday and two more on thursday... I am so screwed.
Positive: It can't be that bad? I usually pass and today, I even studied a bit! And I have a break before my last exams so that's good. And my last exam's a performance!
Negative: In less than a week one my best friends is leaving. She's been here for a year and I've known her for at least 9 months. I never thought I'd miss someone as much as I do her. I'm such an awkward person and she's my friend, how'd that even work? Someone who I haven't known for the past few years liking me? I just didn't think it possible.
Positive: I can still keep in contact with her! Maybe now I should get facebook or something that will help me keep in contact with her.

Re: Turning Negatives Into Positives
Positive: It could easily turn up, as long as I keep looking for it. Nothing bad will happen, I'm just over thinking.

Re: Turning Negatives Into Positives
@Doris Good luck with your exam! I know how hard it is sometimes to study, especially when you're feeling down. I hope you're able to push through it!
_____________
Negative: My partner was admitted to hospital today, probably for the week. I'm a bit worried and I'm really missing him.
Positive: It's the best place for him at the moment. They'll soon fix him up and he'll be well and ready to come home. Plus, I can visit him everyday.

Re: Turning Negatives Into Positives
Negative: Feeling rather self conscience today. My mind just constantly attacking me. Pointing out every single flaw. Feeling like I'm at war with myself
Positive: I tried to stand confident, I tried not to let my mind destroy me while walking through the supermarket. I'm now barracading myself in my room to try and feel a bit better about myself. avoiding reflections and mirrors for now.
Negative: So many thoughts going through my head right now. I don't know how to cope, or get them out!
Positive: I'm going to try some distraction techniques. See if that helps me feel better...
