Self Image

Quote From: beth93

I do not have a clear cut definition of self image.  Here's my definition of self image  

  Self Image- the way you view yourself in terms of physical qualities, self worthiness,  

             and self definition of success ( using the gifts God has given you)  

  

  

  

  

Lately, I have been truly struggling.  I have felt much self anger and have become too upset with myself.  Two days ago, I scratched myself 3 times in a day.  I feel like there is no escaping from this depression and self anger cycle.  I have seen psychiatrists and therapists in Corpus Christi.  The doctors just want to prescribe medication.  Therapists will only work iwth me on the  surface issues.  As soon as things get deep, the therapists clam.  

  

I mailed letters to Robin McGraw  3 different times and sent her  2 e-mails.   I sent both Dr. Phil and Robin a long e-mail letter on May 9th.  I know they are too busy to respond.  At least I can look myself in the eye and say I tried to get help.  

  

I admire you for being so candid about how you are feeling and what is happening in your world.  I am sure that you are reaching other people on a personal note who may be experiencing similar feelings.

Even though you may feel sometimes that "there is no escaping from this depression...", just by you reaching out and sharing your experience shows that there is a bit of escaping going on...!  You're taking positive steps away from succumbing as a victim.

Keep searching for solutions, though.  You are in charge of you.  Your last sentence sounds a bit like you're defeated.  Don't wait for others to just give you solutions, keep going and keep trying to find something or someone that can help.  It's your LIFE, your only one.  It's worth continuing the fight to get full control for yourself!  Until you get control of you, no amount of trying is "enough".
