Could I be sabotaging myself?

Registered Nurse here;  Well Dear, Could be your sabotaging yourself, no one is more equipped to evaluate this question, than you.  Here's what I have seen over and over.  I'm just going to make a comparison here regarding sabotaging oneself.  Drug addicts come in, get clean, gain employment, have an apartment or home, begin regaining self-respect, and the next thing there on drugs again.   I have had so many of these people tell me that they had spent the majority of there adult life doing the drugs and when changes came even though positive, they were unable to balance the success, for they were use to failure, that they knew how to deal with failure, but couldn't accept success.  Please I'm not in anyway saying your on drugs.  I was just trying to use my experience in working with people who can't accept success, or for some reason feel they don't deserve success.  Perhaps, you are the only one standing in your way.  Could it be your more comfortable with failure than success.  But know, you are a worthwhile person, and you deserve success.  Consider counseling, they can really help you gain insight as to the dynamics of what's going on with in you.  \nI appreciate the opportunity to address such a sensitive and heart felt question.

Sounds to me like you need to talk it out with a therapist.  You have to figure out what it is that is causing your ATTITUDE, and how you can learn to have more PATIENCE.  I don't think you are as IN TUNE with yourself as you think, but with the help of a listening ear to work through whatever is eating at you under the surface...you hopefully will be able to figure out.

Me too! But over the last few days, I forced myself to do the routine things which I usually do. Wash stuff, drive around, and do work in office and try not to check Y!A. \n\nI must say its really hard, cos I am back now :) hehehe Perhaps as long as you do not let yourself neglect other more important priorities in your life, you should be fine (this applies to me too).

sometimes I think Im great but right now I am feeling low so maybe later I will think of something. my shrink says I should think of possitive things about myself rather then be so negitive. your question is a nice one

I force myself to consider the consequences of not doing what I'm spozed to. That's the only way to get my a$$ moving on ANYTHING! Sad to say, it seems to be a daily thing w/ me.

If you don't want to do something your brain has a way of distracting you so you don't have to do it. So you must convince yourself that it is something you want to do and think positive about it. Set a time and stick to it, it's all about willpower.

It may actually be healthy to talk to yourself as you do. What you need to be concerned about is believing that it is someone else who is answering back. You are actually the best person to determine where you are and what your state of mind is. However, I would highly recommend that you talk with others as well in order to maintain a good perspective on everything.

Yes.  You are definitely going to make an a$$ of yourself.\n\n\nFeign illness and stay home.

Opinion addiction doesn't exist. Self doubt does. The basis is seeking approval from others, so as not to look inept. Look at things in a different way: accept and laugh at mistakes you may make doing whatever it is. It's called living as you know.\nTo me, it sounds like you had parents/adults who were of the old mindset about not trying anything on your own, or even if you wanted to do/fix sometthing, there was always an adult who pointed out how he/she would do it, took over the task, and made you feel lesser for it.

GOD apparently lol i think not : P seek help from the person or persons you trust the most...maybe they can help you find a way to help yourself

Too many people are successful at sabotaging themselves ... it's scary to find THE ONE.  It's impossible to believe that you can be so fortunate, so blissful, so perfect with him/her.  But I believe that if two people are meant to be, they will find a way ... even if one of them has cold feet.

Are you really incompetent or are you just making some very unhealthy decisions for yourself? Ask a therapist this question. Can you prove to whoever it is that has control of your affairs that you can do things responsibly. See if they will give you a chance with it and check how that turns out. Good luck to you.

Looks like your doing great, the biggest thing you might have to watch out for is getting too confident of other people noticing a change as well as yourself and losing the motivation to continue until you reach your goal (healthy goal)
