Imagine you're in a quiet place... by

I KNOW what regulates my mood, its the fact if I worked on my thesis or not
worked on my thesis: I was exaggerating when I felt bad, everything is sunny, I am able to live a normal life like everybody else, I can do it, I am so thankful, family will be proud
didnt work on my thesis: I am lazy I am terrible and ungrateful, I will never change, my life will never change, I will end as an homeless person, nobody loves me, I hate myself etc etc.
I finally know that my way of thinking is wrong; Its not that I now believe this self help #######4 crap (it depends on my mood) but I know what triggers my mood.
BUT WHY DON'T I DO ANYTHING FOR MY THESIS THEN?!
I wanted to be the thinnest when I had anorexia. They say people who are cured from anorexia have more self discipline because they are more competitive or something. Well, I am competitive, when I read how someone spends her whole day on studying I think
"I want to do that too. I want to be the one that studies the most".
But like today, when I already did other things like browsing the internet, I've got the feeling I can't concentrate anyway. So then I think "Tomorrow I'll start with my strict regime"
And of course I will not do it. I was so desperate, I wanted to punish myself for being so lazy. I always read here "blahblah its soo relievinng blahblah" so I grabbed a kitchen knife and tried to cut myself. But it just...didnt work. I scratched myself but SOMETHING prevented me from cutting deeper. I think it was the thought about my family. And then I got frustrated, cleaned the knife and said to myself "I can never be the best at cutting. So then I shouldnt do it at all". And I guess that was a wise decision. But now, I am still back at the beginning. There was a short moment of self-discipline, and I lost it almost right away. I have to focus on it, I know that. But its so hard. AAaaahhh why am I talking about "something thats hard" when theres war and homeless people and....NO!!!!!!!!! STOP!!!!!!!!!!! Well I think I am not going to think anything right now, before it gets more and more depressive. At such moments, I need to clear my mind. But I hate these ######6 meditations. NOTHING happens when I try them. Yes, I almost fall asleep, thats all. Ugh. I cannot hear the words "Imagine you're in a quiet place...." anymore. Well, I know something that empties my mind. MUSIC. Thank the lord for music.
