"Quit Judging Me"
Posted On: 10/16/2007 02:11:51

It's been nearly a month, before everything started going to hell. Going to hell in my mind anyway...

During that month, I've managed to isolate my friends (mainly you guys) because I was too busy beating myself up for my relapse.

So now it's time to pick myself by the proverbial balls (that would seem painful if I actually had some), get back in the saddle and not give up!!

The other night I was going over how badly I regressed from any of the progress I had made, asking myself what it is that I'm wanting and needing to do for myself.

That's when I heard a voice inside my mind say, "Quit judging me."

At that moment, I was hit with the realization just how much of a judgmental person I truely am. Not just in judging others, but I'm exceptionally worse in judging myself.

And that is what I've been doing to myself for backsliding.

Only problem is I seem to be unable to stop banging the gavel at myself, which has me at a loss...

Does anyone have/have had the same issue and can offer some sage advice and experiences in dealing with this issue? I would appreciate any suggestions!

I'm always beating myself up. I have these voices in my head that can't stop bugging me. I wish my brain would tell me to "quit judging me". I'm trying my best to put positive thoughts in my head & to be more optimistic. It seems as if with my addiction, I've become more pessimistic than optimistic. And I ended up hating myself on top of that. So I turned out to be a mess, heh.

But remember of all those people that love you for you...And God loves you & doesn't judge you either.

I'm here for you!!!!!!!

I don’t know if I have any advice or not, but I know exactly how you feel.  I am probably my own worst enemy.  You know, I don’t like others to criticize me because I’m too busy doing it myself.  I have a ton of love and compassion for others, but very little for me.  I know exactly how to beat myself up and I’m very good at it.

All I can do is remind myself that God loves me and if God loves me that I should love me too.  It is hard and I don’t always do it.  I have been so hard on myself for so long that it is hard to treat myself with the same mercy and compassion that I so freely give to others.

Out of respect for God, I have to make a conscious effort to remind myself that He loves me and if He loves me then I am worth loving.  I have to make a conscious effort to show compassion to myself.

Trust me, I still beat myself up.  However, I don’t beat myself as often or as long as I used to and by the end of it, I am thanking God for loving me even when I can’t love me.  I thank God that He has a purpose for my life.
