Self-judgment and Dissociative Identity Disorder
Are you what you think?
Many who live with dissociative identity disorder day to day often find themselves bogged down in negative self-judgment. We may think of ourselves only in negative terms and put ourselves down every chance we get.
This article will focus on negative self-judgment and the stinking thinking that goes on to keep us from healing.
I’m So Fat and Ugly
The most common negative self-judgment is our appearance. We may avoid mirrors and not go out much because we don’t want to be seen by others. Perhaps you don’t avoid mirrors, but you look into them and see what you want to see: Someone who is defective.
No matter what you do or what you think about yourself, you can only see in yourself an ugly human being without hope.
The facts are these: you are not ugly or obscene in any way, and you are in control of your body today. Ugliness judges actions, not how you look. You are most likely average for people of this time in history, when Americans are overweight.
Only you control your body today, so don’t sit around weeping and wishing you could be different. Do something. Find a way to get more exercise (which is also good for your mental health) and change your attitude.
