Todays black hole......... Cherry: Okay. What do you do to bolster yourself? When you feel as though you are worthless, when you are depressed and when that voice inside you that says no one wants you and no one ever will gets too loud, how do you handle it??
Re: Todays black hole......... CDNgurl: I haven't felt that way in a while... and only one loser ever really put me in that black place...
but - here's what helped:
1) I pulled out old love letters from my first boyfriend. That reminded me that I am completely loveable. :)
2) I reminded myself of my friends and how much they love me. Their opinion far out weighs that of one loser. This one was pretty powerful.

There it is! Those truckers sure know how to make a woman feel better about herself. ;D

I would be so nervous to do that. I think I might feel like "I had this strong connection to a person and now I don't have it." Even if I completely didn't want that person anymore, I think it would make me feel even more lonely by reminding me of what I don't have while reading them.
I'm glad that worked for you. I don't mean to imply it's bad advice or anything like that, just that it's interesting how we all differ.
Cherry, mine is always the same -- exercise and accomplishment. Those are what work for me but we're all different. When I say exercise, I mean pushing to exhaustion where I'm fighting to try harder the whole way. Besides the natural chemical lift that exercise gives, it let's me be proud of myself for giving it my best.
You might also find that helping others with their problems makes you feel much better about yourself. Not from the standpoint of seeing things could be worse but from feeling useful by helping make their life just a little better.

That sure seemed easy! I hope there are a lot of truckers in Cherry's neighborhood. :)
