And you need a helping hand...


SEEK DISTRACTION THAT BUILDS ESTEEM.
When you are holed up inside yourself. Upset, depressed; Distract yourself. Don't wallow in the negative, dont complain, dont write in your journal, it all breeds more negitivity. Find a positive influence in you life. Find A person that won't justify your unhealthy attitude for you, find one who will help you up and out of it. Laughter. "Laughter is the best medicine. " It makes everything better.
Laugh at yourself. You are human. That realization gives you the permission to feel okay about dumb mistakes you've made.
NO ONE CAN RELATE TO PERFECTION.
No one likes perfect people. I wouldn't know what to say to somebody like that. We pick the puppy with the bent ear. It's much cuter than the other ones.
Talk to someone!! We jump at the oppurtunity to make someone else feel better about their mistakes. It's our nature to want to reach out and help someone who goofed. And it makes us feel releaved to find someone who goofed as bad as we did (or do) so often.
Do something for someone else. Focus outside yourself. Generosity kills selfishness. And that's what all self destructive behavior is; selfish. Thinking about it. It's all about "me." Religion is good for this point. It gives you something other than yourself to focus on, and it shows you that God is there, and he loves you inspite of those mistakes He knew you would make. It teaches you to love your neighbor, improve yourself, and help others.
Let your pain go. And find yourself in a new challenge. Build your self esteem learning to do something new. And do something for someone else. Learn to make some christmas gifts! Learn to paint and give it away. Write poems about you're favorite person and send them. Making someone else happy is contagious.
Good luck to you!! And remember that God loves you!!
