Why do I think this way?

[Cerulean_Butterfly]

Lately, I've been thinking of really negitive things. And I don't know why. I'm making myself so sad and angry and depressed. Why am I doing this? Why do I keep thinking of negitive things? Like... I'll start thinking about never getting married, for whatever reason. Or, I'll think about getting married and (for some reason) not being able to get pregnant. And that may seem stupid to you... but having a baby has always been a dream of mine. Why am I thinking like this? Why do I keep thinking that I'll be outcasted in school next year? Or, why do I keep thinking that I'll be a loner the rest of my life? Or thinking that I'll never stop cutting? It's triggering me and making me sad and I don't understand it.

Am I alone in this? Does anyone else ever feel this way?

-Jo.

lovely JO~ !!!
you are a bright and precious lamb of God

Highs and lows often affect the way we perceive our relationship with the Lord. If we are emotionally high, we have found favor with the Lord and for some reason feel more adequate to worship, more accepted. If we are low due to the circumstances of life, then we must have displeased the Lord and are somehow being punished and so we are spiritually depleted.
We are accepted by the Lord Jesus and we are in Him. Whether high or low our Lord awaits us and has accepted us. We are His beloved !!

You are not alone!
When we feel low, our minds often drift to a negative way of thinking. That makes us feel low and so we get stuck in a bit of a circle, feeling low, thinking low. But there are ways to get round it..
Some therapies like Cognitive Behaviour Therapy can help and some self help books have been written from a Christian perspective about CBT, which is even better, putting Jesus and his word into the therapy! If you see a counsellor or health professional, they can chat to you further about it...
for you all

I often make myself angry. Actually...most of my anger outbursts start off with negitive thoughts...those thoughts get me into a bad/angry mood...then the first person that annoys me will trigger the outburst.... Jo, you are not alone.
