Would they really? Can you think of another way your negative feelings could improve without doing something destructive?

Right now I can't do certain things because of a broken bone and I feel quite guilty asking for help. My guilty feelings would improve if I just reminded myself a bit more that it's okay to ask for help.

It's hard, but I'm trying.

My panic feelings would improve if I had a call saying M wasnt coming.

My worry feelings would improve if the marks on my arm were to spontaneously disappear.

My General rubbish feelings would improve had I done something today. Too late now. Mid afternoon already, and i have done nothing at all.

My agitated feelings would improve if I got some sleep, and stopped worrying that I'm headed into a manic episode.

It's hard not to worry, but sleep won't happen if I keep working myself into a panic.

My feelings of distrust would improve if I slowly tried to open up little bits at a time to a few more people.
My hurt/invalidated/put-down feelings concerning something that my friend said would improve if i were able to sit down and have a sincere conversation without either of us being against it.

I feelings of inadequacy would improve with some encouragement and myself accepting that I am decently good at this.

ALL of my feeling would improve if I stopped worrying about trust, find some good friends and actually talk to someone instead of keeping it locked away in my head.

My angry and unappreciated feelings would improve if I stopped giving up and kept applying for new jobs until I actually got one I liked.

my health would improve if i had a "normal" diet.
The kind of pain that makes you want to hurt everyone around you because you’re suffering & they’re not, because they can breathe without feeling guilty & hold a normal conversation without breaking down into fits of tears or rage
