I Am Bothered

Bothered is just the nice way of putting it.

It is unacceptable behaviour for people to write rude comments on someone’s blog. There is disagreeing of course but there is no need to be rude and degrading.

I will not accept that behaviour on my own blog and such comments will not be acknowledged.

To all of my followers who have received rude comments about their mental health experience I am truly sorry and wish for you to delete those comments and not acknowledge the presence of such poisonous people.

To everyone who feels that they to share their rude opinions, DON’T!!!!

I find it difficult to understand rudeness when I can think of plenty of ways to say something rude nicely, constructively and sportively!

 

DBT Workbook: Distract Yourself By Paying Attention To Someone Else

I’m still on Distraction but I want to try each type of Distraction one its own to I don’t feel overwhelmed. I’m trying things out for about a week so I can try and learn it. I don’t want to get ahead of myself.

The workbook suggests that when I start feeling stressed I should pay attention to someone else. I have selected 2/3 of their suggestions and made 1 of my own.

• Do something for someone else.
• Think of someone you care about.
• Go online and comment on blogs (my idea)

The international symbol for helping: hands!

I have already done my idea before. There have been times where I have been stressed but I come on and read what some of you have written and I’ll comment back. I have a chance to stop thinking about what’s going on in my head and focus on what’s happening to all of you!

I don’t think I’ve ever thought about doing something for someone else when I’ve gotten stressed. I usually spend that time telling myself not to fall into the black hole and I push people around to make sure it doesn’t. I do like helping people and doing nice things so hopefully I can remind myself quickly next time to try it.

We’ll see how it goes!
