How do you avoid self-hatred when words feel like lies? Today I had a list of things I wanted to accomplish, but my fatigue and paralysis wouldn't let me. I'm an adult and I want to be responsible. But being stuck like this doesn't draw me to like myself anymore.
I never knew why I was such a jerk for many many years. I put my wife through a lot of junk. I never knew why I wandered every isle at the grocery store and didn’t get the one thing she asked me to pick on my way home! AND I took so long at the store I was way late getting home! It’s not easy. It’s different for each of us too. No magic pill to fix it. Just keep on working it, one day at a time…
I'm sorry it's tough I definitely know the feeling, try to have grace and understanding with yourself, easier said than done but one thing that helps me is approach the conversation I have with myself as if I were talking to a friend going through the same thing and it really changes my tone
Also setting timers has helped me. Give yourself timers to do tasks that bring you joy like watching a video or playing a video game, then give yourself that same amount of time towards a task you don’t want to get done. Going back and fourth helps me stay motivated and still get stuff done
Take those negative self hate thoughts and turn that energy into positive thinking and creativity, or at least try !
