I think everybody gets a little confused sometimes. Its really very hard to be relatively objective about oneself.
>Maybe I can't rely on my own judgement of how I am doing??
Thats a hard one... You can't doubt ALL your judgements... I think it is about figuring out which of your judgements are likely to be reliable (and when) and which of them are not... I remember doing some stuff around that with respect to 'rational mind' 'emotional mind' and wise mind but IMO it is still bloody hard to tell... Sometimes I think the best way is to say what you think someplace where other people can jump in to (like on the boards).
I think that when judgements are out it is because there is relevant information that hasn't been taken into account...
And remembering all that relevant information is hard...
Especially because of state dependent learning / memory which means that when you are in a good place you tend to forget the bad times... And when you are in a bad place then you tend to forget the good times...
But we can help you remember
(And it is there in the archives too)
> Hmmm...if I go only by the facts, I guess maybe I do have some problems.MOSTLY you do really very well.
SOMETIMES you lose it a little and could probably do with a hand.But its not an either / or thing... Its a mostly / sometimes thing...
I hope your appoitment goes well.
I really really do.
