Understanding Me, Myself and I

Something I ponder a lot about is – when there’s a disagreement or situation that feels unfair is it always me that’s wrong? Undoubtedly I will be wrong on numerous occasions maybe even the majority but it can’t always be me…….. can it?

Here’s the thing – by taking ownership of my mental health issues I have to chart/diary/evaluate a lot about myself and the world around me. So my question is if people around you do not do this how do they KNOW with such certainty that they are right?

Part of my mental health is managing anxiety and stress – this becomes exponentially harder if you are always being told you are the one that’s wrong. Self-doubt, anxiety and feelings of blame and unhappiness get heighten when I truly believe I am right and try to stand my ground. This then triggers the personality conflicts Sloan wants to run and hide, cry and sleep. Animal is enraged and wants to tell the world to fuck off, Annie is nowhere to be seen and panicky Pete is screaming….. somewhere in the mist of the chaos Mayo is trying to rationalise and make sense of it.

I’m not sure which one is us is writing this, probably Mayo.
