It seems like we are surrounded these days by irrational thinking. Monitor your thinking now and then. Is your thinking unrealistic, maybe even irrational? Are you denying the reality of your situation? If you’re not sure, share your thoughts with someone you trust and see what they think; another set of “eyes” can help put problems in a more realistic light.
Accept the fact that living is stressful for you and everyone else. You are not alone, you are not weird, and you are not helpless. These are irrational thoughts, just like believing that feeling emotions makes you inferior to others. Write those words on an index card and read the card regularly. Teach yourself this acceptance.
