Hello! I'm writing my personal statement etc for an Art Psychotherapy MA, the uni says they specify as a Jungian based course. I have lots of things I'd like to say, lots of things that tie into Jungian analysis, I have a jist of what my strengths might be but... I don't know I'm stuck. If...

I really don't. I don't have the patience but that's probably because I don't care enough. I can't be bothered to concentrate on what's happening, I'd just rather do something else

Did you find yourself going backwards at times? There was a period of time about 3 years ago where I had some realisation and everyones place in the world and how important everyones unique qualities were. The main realisation was probably regarding me, I had always appreciated others but at...

In response to your first bit, I try hard to notice when I do wrong, like when I've genuinely been thoughtless and not realised how a situation really was. Like you say, that happens when you behave in a way that isn't in line with who you are, I'm usually one to notice these things and yes like...

Why that response to that persons reply?

That's really great. What did you need to do? At the moment I feel like the only way I wont have as much of these thoughts is if I build a life where I can stay away from people forever- which is giving into the thoughts, not getting rid of them.

I feel like it might be easier to deal with if I had a better understanding of where it came from and why, I've been through years of psych treatment and it didn't help it. I know psychiatric professionals cant figure out everything, I'll be one myself soon, but because I havent figured otu a...

This is your second response, what was the 'no' to?

I'm not talking about hating being alive at all, just myself. Did you ever feel differently? At times when I've had a big break, like a 2 week holiday where I'm not even socialising with my best friends much, I am able to feel the way you do. But the moment I get back to people the same thoughts...

I hate myself a lot. Like for years the main words repeatedly going round my head are 'i hate myself, i hate myself', 'stay away from people', 'im sorry'. I know loads of people dont like themselves/hate themselves, but do any of you feel it really strongly? Every time I socialise, I can't help...

haha, I did enjoy reading your rant. I hadn't thought about where the statistics came from, but I didn't really care enough to find out myself. I have come across people to claim to be INFJ, who don't act like an INFJ at all, and who keep talking about how unique they are, and tbh my first...

I've learnt that what it is in me that makes me suffer most is also the best thing about me. I mostly like the way my minds works despite it making me suffer. I like that I can be there for the people I care about and that I'm less likely to accidentally dismiss them than some of their other...

The moment I learnt the power of the mind, my life changed, I mean when I learnt that we can change our thoughts by talking to ourselves, that most negative head spaces are just mindsets and that we can learn to have different mindsets.

I haven't read any other responses but (and no agro here but wanted to say) it might not be great to use the term 'normal' in the way you have xD it hurts a bit, there is no such thing as normal, i fully understand what you meant when you worded it like that though and I know you weren't being...

It helped me, my uncertainty and struggle to make enough solid decisions because of all the different possibilities that I knew could exist really contributed to me feeling a lack of sense of self, like you mentioned. I felt like if I was enough of a person then I would know what I wanted and...
