I have been there

Quote From: bentien

I look in the mirror but who is it that I see? 26 years old and I still don´t know who I am. It´s like I´ve lost myself. Like I´ve forgotten myself in a shop or in a bus. Nothing feels right, nothing tastes good. I feel like I´m drowning or choking and I have no one to turn to. What´s wrong with me? What am I worth? 

Sometimes I look at my family as they sit together, and it´s like they have a special way of being together which doesn´t include me. 

People will disappoint you. I get that, I more or less expect that, but what if you one day realize that you are the disappointment? Right now I´m so sick and tired og living a lie that sometimes I wish I would die. 

Hi I have to say that I have been there at 25yrs old at the time and it was frightening! I have since herd of a thing called quater life crisis and I tell you I think it is true. Forging your way through this world when you dont seem to have a map makes it all very cloudy and confusing. Hold onto the fact that it will be better and that you can get through it. I did - its been 6 years since that time. I have learnt that I was no dissapointment to anyone when I got rid of the negative self talk and achieving that can make you proud of youself. In time it will be ok. Remember to pull yourself in and don't allow your mind to take yourself out of the cirle re: when the family sitting down for dinner etc. I still have to check those type of thoughts  but I tell myself that I deserve to be there in the moment and like a lasoo I pull myself back into the situation. Try it & good luck :)

"Discover the champion in you" today and get a notebook and title SELF MATTERS INCLUDES ME and sign your name with confidence. Then each DAILY entry of ten entries to cheer yourself on title SELF MATTERS INCLUDES ME and sign your name with confidence then write ten positive things about yourself even if you don't feel that way and things you aspire to be. There is a lot to act as if until you are. Positive thinking isn't learned through osmosis and it takes practice, practice, practice. Begin practicing today! Best wishes. SEA



SELF MATTERS INCLUDES YOU
1) I am feeling better and better every day.
2) I will be proactive in my recovery of happiness.
3) I will have faith in myself.
4) I will turn negatives into positives.
5) I be my best friend.
6) I am calm, relaxed, poised and confident
7) I will cheer myself on writing DAILY positive things about myself.
8) My past is the past and today is today and I have the steering wheel to my future
9) "Life is not cured it is managed" and it is up to me to manage my life well
10) Quitters never win and winners never quit so I'll never, never, NEVER give up on me...
