Feeling very unlikeable

Postby littlerbear » Fri Jun 14, 2013 1:26 am

Just noticed today how frequently I sound angry or annoyed, and how much of the time I actually feel that way. It's alot of the time. The feedback loop between myself and myself is very negative -I keep telling myself to moderate my tone, not to take things so seriously, relax, etc. but can't seem to do it, so I get into a spiral where I don't like myself and don't see how anyone else could either. I don't want to be a pain to myself and everyone else, but this is all I've got right now.

I'm nice to the little kids I teach and people at work, but kinda kick my husband's ass quite a bit. Some things he does are genuinely annoying, but he's just a person trying to do his best and doesn't deserve to be dealt with harshly all the time. I'm hard to live with right now; trying to get into therapy, but neither of the two programs I've contacted are calling me back.

Today was actually a more neutral day than I've had since I hung out with my ex. I still go through periods of hating everything, but don't have such a profound sense of futility. I'm still feeling poundy and smashy, but I've already messed up the mouse by smashing it on the computer desk, and I like posting here - if the mouse gets more messed up I won't be able to do that, so I'll hold off on the smashing for now. If I keep feeling this way, I'll life some weights. Coping for now.

I understand, I really do. Don't worry, you can let it all out here.

I'm sorry you're having such a difficult time right now. I really hope you get contacted soon, and I do hope that it helps you with everything you need.

I'm glad to hear that today wasn't so bad! That's good news! Hey, that reasoning for not smashing the mouse is a good one! And life all the weights you need to let it out. be proud that you're coping as best you can :)

I've had phases in life when i felt like worthless and then i liked myself, then again worthless. like it oscillates between self hatred and god like feeling.

i've realized that it's ok to hate myself. i just had to identify the reason of hatred and work against it.

i hate myself cause i'm thin and physically weak. i'm trying to build up. i know that i'll never be content and continue hating and then it'll oscillate to pride and so forth.

i take myself seriously, write down my thoughts and read them, to make sure i dont make any impulsive decision. reading my own thoughts in a book again and again, helps me understand myself more clearly. it definitely helped with the impulse
