You are so right Davit when say I am not lost..I have not gone over to the dark side..I am enlightening myself, "LOL" thats a play on words, with new ideas and concepts..I am finding the information on the sister site about Core Beliefs very interesting and helpful..I am learning how to identified my negative core beliefs so that I can begin to challenge and change them..
I was already doing this to some degree here using the 10 question list..Now I am taking it quite a few steps further..and for someone with anxiety issues this is a big step. I am not afraid to learn more..I am actually looking forward to it..
When I went left my house and went to my first class in over 20 years I was working on my negative core beliefs without really knowing it. I thought I would never fit in and that I would not be able to learn how to quilt..But I proved my self wrong I was able to do all those things and more...
Today I challenged my negative core belief that I am stupid and could not write the English language in a way that was understandable and readable..and I learned that it doesn't have to be perfect to be good. I am really very good at expressing my thoughts and getting my point across..It does not have to be done with perfect grammar to be meaningful..or make sense, it just has to come from the Heart. This is a language most people understand...
After working on My Core beliefs today I see that I have got a lot of work to do on how I see myself and the world and the other people it...I do not have to go and hide under a rock somewhere anymore because I am not perfect..I do not have to be perfect anymore and neither does anyone else...
Tell next time.
Your friend,
Sid
Ps.
My Roses and getting new leaves and buds and blooming out and my vegetables plants are starting to get Huge...
I was over looking at the Depression site and I read a post from Red/Sid..it looks like she's working on her issues, so hopefully that will help her. Good luck to her!
then I went to the Healthy weight site....and quickly left!! ha...I love to cook and eat and it shows!
You know, even at my worst, I don't think I was depressed. you would think I would have been, but I was too worried to be down...does that make sense? One emotion so overwhelmed the other I guess....and maybe I was but just didn't recognize it...
anyhow, I was just checking in..to say Hi to everyone...I'm still doing fine..loving my new anxiety/panic free life.
Everyone have a good weekend...I'm going to go watch Get-Away Friday..and NOT eat any Kettle chips....ok, who am I fooling? A TON of them..they are so so good...hahaha
Hi Hugs: Oh yes, I knew that you were kidding. Sometimes when people are depressed they have a very hard time seeing light at the end of the tunnel. You often use a play on words, I'm getting to know your writing style. lol
We have not lost Red/Sid, She is most likely busy with her garden and doing the site on her own. You know you can read the posts without actually logging in so we don't know if she is here or not. I have known Red for a long time, I'm not too concerned.
It is a good sign that she has come back under her name. A sign of a new beginning, a renewal.
I remember when Juanita came back under her real name, we were so happy for her. She will be fine. She is too good of a friend to leave without telling me. She is also on the depression site. I think she is busy tending here lovely flowers.
Gee Hugs, I wouldn't call it the dark side exactly, (that reminds me of witches and evil spells) I'm lucky I don't suffer from depression....you know, there but for the grace of God, go I. I might have the blues or feel crappy for awhile but luckily no despair. I'm such an optimist. I like to read everything so I can better understand what's happening. I didn't register on the site so didn't read the sessions. You haven't lost me yet. lol
I do not know why there is nothing on core beliefs as pertaining to anxiety since they can have a major effect on your anxiety level without you being depressed. I am not depressed at all but my core beliefs in the past were a major cause of my panic attacks. At least the root of them. Subconsciously. Since panic and depression are two different mental conditions I'm not sure if the treatment of core beliefs for depression will help panic attacks. Core such as negative ones such as "I'm not good enough" do not have to lead to depression, they can lead to an anxious state that if allowed to get out of hand can lead to panic attacks over the futility of trying. They could also lead to depression but do not have to, I feel depending on the persons personality.
You should check it out and see if they are causing you to be depressed or to panic. I'm going to spend some time reading because I think it is possible that treating core beliefs for panic may (just my opinion) be different than for depression.
