i have trouble with the gratitude thing, too. Linehan had that as one of her coping things, I remember. Something about how when you are feeling sorry for yourself it can help to think of those who are worse off.
I guess it does help some people feel better or Linehan wouldn't have suggested it... And neither would Phillipa.
I simply don't get it, though. It only makes me feel worse that the world sucks so much or worse that I feel bad in the first place.
Hmm. But then I just posted a message to myself for the future that would remind me to feel grateful. Why did I do that? I don't know :-(
