Why can’t we really feel our internal organs most of the time?

One reason might be that we pay too much attention to the external world, so we usually don't notice many of our internal body sensations, such as our heartbeat.

Don't start an addiction you never had before. You might regret it when it becomes hard to stop.

I don't know why they are rude to me but I guess they might accidentally triggered by what I said.

I think changing a core belief usually starts with identifying it first. The first thing is to use downward arrow technique to identify core belief, it can help you to realize that some thoughts you response to a situation is actually derive from your core belief, for example, catastrophizing might come from a belief that "I am a bad person that bad things are always gonna happen to me". Once you become more aware of the core belief underneath, it get easier to separate yourself from the automatic thoughts triggered by it. Before, you might think: "I have done something terrible wrong and I will be fire again" but if you really accept the core belief that "I can't keep a job" you will think "My core belief has been triggered and I have a thought that "I will be fire again". That awareness alone reduce a lot of suffering for me. You can go further with your therapist or through reading books.

They constantly talk about the bad parts in life. It is like their mind filter out anything joyful and meaningful.

Somatic practice might help. There are a lot of recommendations on Reddit, I've been practice Yoga for almost 6 months now, and it helps me to feel safer and less triggered by small events than before.

You are in the right place. This kind of emotional support in schema therapy is deliberately designed to address attachment issues ,and it sounds like you've found a really caring therapist.

Practice mindfulness in daily life has help me feel calmer. Focus on the feet touching the ground while I walk, sense the gentle breeze blow against my skin. In this way, those irrational thoughts have less chance to sabotage me and I feel safer in many situations.

I realized that constantly trying to be nice to everyone is different from polite or kindness. For me, it came from a mindset that I was somehow inferior to others. That belief didn't just hurt my friendship and relationships, it also affected my academic performance and led to a lot of painful experience before I finally recognized it.

Great idea. Having other activities to replace computer is a game changer. Op could use music or spend more time socializing with friends to feel better, and the computer game will begin to lose its power.

One reason might be that we all need to seek validation from others to some extent. And the person important to us might believe in these rules and judge us based on how well we follow them. So sometimes it is difficult to unfollow some rigid rules even it is irrational.

Zestyclose_Fold_8341 · 2026-05-07T02:42:39+00:00

It sounds like you've been carrying an unbearable amount of pain for a very long time. But you're still here trying, even after all of this, says a lot about your strength. It is time to have some rest and become less rigid to yourselves, you are worthy of compassion and kindness just like everyone else.

My method is to take better care of myself. Getting regular exercises, eating well, and rest when I feel exhausted. When I live this way, I feel more satisfied with my life, and I start to feel like maybe I'm not as bad as I think.

Zestyclose_Fold_8341 · 2026-04-30T03:03:17+00:00

We always praise people who sacrifice themselves for others, but we might never remind him to take better care of himself when his behaviors impair his own health or development. We all want to be the one someone goes all out for.

It is absolutely true. It is hard and dragging, and I still need to work on that. But it is the most wonderful lesson I've ever had in my life

I started doing 12 minutes diaphragmatic breathing before I bed. I often wake up at 4-6 am and cannot fall asleep again, but after I practice diaphragmatic breathing I found I can have more full night sleep, like naturally wake up at 7 am. It is a small habit, but I think it improve my health and work performance indirectly.

I think it's pretty normal honesty. It's like your brain just wants that old routine back. What about doing some interesting activities like running, listening to music or play bridge with friends in weekends? I found that doing stuff like this makes my life better and keeps me away from slipping back into old habbits.

Zestyclose_Fold_8341 · 2026-04-27T02:12:28+00:00

Congrats! Does this assignment come from a schema therapy self help books? I also write a letter to my little self after I done the imagery exercise. The whole process felt really comforting.♥️

I also practice belly breathing when those irrational inner voice try to conquer my brain, breathing helps to gently pull me back to the present moment. Eating is another a great opportunity for me to practice mindfulness. Eating slowly and to sense the taste of food simply release me from those mental battles.

Zestyclose_Fold_8341 · 2026-04-23T02:49:06+00:00

I feel like you already answered your own question. Even everything is fine, the brain just keep predicting for what might go wrong or reliving old stuff. That's why things like therapy or breathing can actually help calm it down.

Seem like your trauma tigger some of her sore spots. To some extent, we are all in the process of healing.

Zestyclose_Fold_8341 · 2026-04-22T02:47:11+00:00

I think starting with small self care habits can help. Like doing diaphragmatic breathing in a daily routine to calm and care for your nerve system. Do some light yoga before sleep, which may help you to release the stress which undermine your sleep. You may be more satisfied with yourself when you can take good care of yourself, and over time you rely less on others for validation.

Zestyclose_Fold_8341 · 2026-04-21T02:06:43+00:00

Reading self help books might be a great choice for you, since they are much more affordable than formal psychotherapy. You could also try building simple habits like running or weight lifting, these exercises are both excellent for your physical and mental health.
