how do you know that you're being too hard on yourself?

You get yourself so worked up you et a headache, yur stomach feels sick and everything you do seems to go wrong... Stop whatever you are doing and go do something childish and fun...RELAX!!!

When instead of seeing a positive you'll 'happily' subconciously take the opportunity to beat yourself down.

Don't do that love - its not worth it. How do I know ? Because I was once there and it took lots of effort ON MY PART to get out of there. No pity parties - look inside yourself and find teh real you again. That's all that really counts. Start over..have an overhaul inside you... Remember Mariah Carey and Hero??

When you hve nothing nice to say about yourself...you always think i could have done better - you seem driven by some force within you to be perfect; you're never happy and you just keep pushinga nd pushing...you're tired and always politically correct - teh way you walk; you smile; you want to please everyone else all the time....
