[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 450982, member: 84"] Steely That is why I brought it up, hon. I used to do this too. And at one point it was so bad that I had to actually talk to myself out loud and tell myself that I am not a loser that I've done x, y, and z, and I am going to do a, b, and c and nothing is going to stop me. Same for looking for the good things.......I've had to list them out loud to make myself hear them. Over and over I did this until it finally sunk in and I could keep the bad in perspective again. There is nothing wrong with a pity party once in a while. We all do it. When it becomes a problem is when you can't get out of the groove. And yes, I've been there too. Katie is there now and I'm trying to help her see it. I still have moments when I tend to do it. Like I have katie and the kids coming over for a whole day soon. And I've caught myself grumbling about the cleaning when I know it's probably going to be semi trashed when they leave, and the tension over trying to prevent the boys from breaking things......I had to mentally STOP myself from doing that and remind myself that it feels good to visit with them regardless of those things, that they get a wealth of good from it........and that there are times when it is just not all about [B]me[/B]. So now I'm cleaning with a much lighter heart and I'd be smiling if husband weren't busy aggravating me at every turn. lol If you can learn to catch yourself and switch gears it makes a ton of difference.
