Why Me

Don't ask yourself that question. It's seriously unhealthy. Earlier today I went on a sort of "why me" binge and left it feeling more depressed than ever. Then I thought about it. Asking "why me" doesn't make the situation better. It doesn't make you feel like anything is going to be okay. It facilitates the depression. It makes it worse. Asking "why me" is toxic, especially if you're trying to heal. Asking "why me" basically is your way of validating to yourself that your life sucks, you suck, everything sucks, and so you don't have to do anything to get out of it because there is nothing that can be done. I am guilty of this! But when I am able to think rationally I realize how unproductive and problematic it really is. Don't ask yourself "why me." Ask yourself what you can do to try to make things better, no matter how much you may think that things will never get better. That is a lie your brain is feeding to you. Things can always get better. Don't let yourself ask those bad questions that hinder progress and make things worse. If you catch yourself, stop yourself in your tracks.
