Does anyone have any ideas on how to start accepting more positive things about yourself? I was given a list of positive attributes by my CPN yesterday and asked to think about some words I could apply to myself - she did realise that I would find that difficult, but it took me by surprise just how hard, and upsetting, I found it - I just don't seem prepared to accept anything positive about myself, and just get stuck in the thought of how much I hate myself. I am not looking for anyone to say "Oh, I'm sure you're great at XYZ" because I just can't believe it, and I would dismiss it - what I need, I guess, is if anyone can explain the process they went through to start believing in themselves again.
I am feeling quite drained and deflated by this because I have been doing better over the last few weeks - more able to do things - but this just makes me think that I have a long way to go on the road to recovery, or discovery.
Don't know if this makes any sense but I hope someone can help.
Thanks.
