Does anyone else get in these "funks" that all they can do is think about the things that are going wrong in their life? I am having one today. I am having a really hard time thinking about anything positive today....all that I can think about is the things that I need to change. I need to be stronger, thinner, prettier, a better friend, a better mom, should have been a better wife, a better person, more outgoing, more confident, less needy, feel less hurt and angry, have self control and willpower....I could go on and on and on.

How do you live when all you see in the mirror is a pitiful human being?

" I close my eyes and wait for that image to go away. It always does.

Everything always changes... you can count on it. Your mood, outlook, confidence, feelings, circumstances... will all be different tomorrow. Just hold on and wait. It will get better. "

" start telling yourself positive things. Just because your X didn't see all these positive things in you doesn't mean that you aren't all these things. You are better than you have yourself believing! "

" I was having an absolutely grandiose Pity Party all by myself this morning... See my posting on "I don't want this life", but I feel better now. Quite a few caring people at DS have stepped up and given me their perspective on things and I thank them for that. I hope your day gets better. "
