    There is Something Wrong with Me


    “There is something wrong What evidence do you have? What evidence contradicts
    with me.” What makes you believe this? this conclusion? What
    reasons are there to doubt
    this?
    I’m emotionally fragile.

    I’m too needy.

    I’m inadequate.

    I’m different from others in


    ways that are bad.

    I’m out of control.

    I don’t feel. I seem to be numb


    compared to others.

    I don’t fit in. People can tell


    there is something wrong with
    me.

    I’m afraid of losing my mind.

    I’ve done shameful things. I’m


    a shameful person.

    I don’t know what I feel. I just


    know I don’t feel good.

    “There is something wrong What evidence do you have? What evidence contradicts
    with me.” What makes you believe this? this conclusion? What
    reasons are there to doubt
    this?

    People judge me. My behavior


    is despicable.

    I’m afraid people will judge


    me.

    I’m afraid of people. I don’t


    know why.

    I’m afraid of me. I don’t know


    why.

    I don’t get along with others.


    There must be something
    wrong with me.

    I can’t tolerate frustration. I


    seem to want everything now.

    I can’t focus. I don’t know


    what’s wrong. I can’t think.

    My feelings hurt so much I


    can’t stand it.

    I must have been made


    differently than others. I seem
    to react so differently than
    those around me do.
    I’m so nervous. Everything
    upsets me. I’m fearful and
    depressed so frequently—
    evidence that I’m a damaged
    human being.
