Guest guest Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 That's wonderful! I'm really happy for you. :-) CBT would not work for me with respect to my sounds problem, but I have been thinking about it a lot and trying to apply it in other areas of my life. I have a tendency think a lot of negative, even unkind thoughts. I am striving to be mindful of that, and to replace at least some of the negative thoughts with positive ones--or to see the positive outcomes even in negative situations. Also, when I know I'm about to " give mental voice " to a negative thought, I try to nip it in the bud--to not let that thought make it into words, or to quickly replace it with something positive. It's so true, as someone else posted here last week...You truly are what you think. Anyway, nice one, Tammy!

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 Wonderful!!Hey guys! So the latest CBT thread wasn't something that, at first, I necessarily agreed with hook, line, and sinker....BUT....the last few days, I've really been thinking about it alot. Just the other day, I was in the mall looking at clothes with my mom and there was some jerk (i'm sure he's very nice) sniffing (yes, sniffing makes him a jerk). My initial reaction was to hang up the clothes and make a run for it. But then I was like, hold up, this is My life and I have as much right to be here as he does. It hurt but I stayed. I tried to think my happy thoughts and I made it through okay :)So that made me somewhat bolder. Today, I applied online for a library position. Think about that for a second. I hate/fear libraries. In all that quiet, you can hear Everything! Maybe I will lose my sanity but I have always wanted a library job and so help me, I'm going for it. The only thing stopping me is the fear of the noises. So I will suck it up, find a way to cope, and finally live my life....if I get the job. But applying symbolizes something for me and that's worth a lot.Thanks you guys! I love all of you! mwah, mwah!

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 Tammy this is AWESOME! I'm SO happy for you! Its liberating isn't it? That first time you are able to stay in a situation you would have normally run from gives you a lot of confidence to try it again. That's what its all about... trying. We do have more control/power than we give ourselves credit for. It doesn't mean its easy, by any means, but it enables us to live. I do wish you all the luck in the world getting this job! > > > Hey guys! > > So the latest CBT thread wasn't something that, at first, I necessarily agreed > with hook, line, and sinker....BUT....the last few days, I've really been > thinking about it alot.
