He'd spend most of our sessions on the phone to other patients. After all that time, the only change he'd suggested be made in my life was to go on a walk every weekend. Which I did,except once it was cold and rainy so I skipped it and when he learned that he told me I wasn't worth his time. Alongside a bunch of other stuff he'd said that hurt. So I quit. DeepFriedSquid posted... Also I'm not trying to come across as an armchair therapist here but having these negative self thoughts and especially writing them out is incredibly detrimental to your self esteem. You may think the bad life causes the negative thoughts, but the negative thoughts can definitely cause the bad life (or make it worse). For the record I say this as someone that has suffered from cynicism and low self esteem for a long ass time, but I'm trying to make the effort of improving my outlook. Initially I was skeptical of trying to be glass half full, but after putting it in practice I've found it made me enjoy life more I don't know how to stop. I used to be fairly optimistic and positive natured, but that changed in my 30's. I wish I could just go back to that mindset. <cite>KogaSteelfang posted [p:972298608] in Overall ar...
