beliefs about yourself alter you personality, psychology homework help

I
do think beliefs about yourself alter you personality. The way you
perceive yourself either provides you a strong personality or a weak
one. I had a weak one because I did criticize myself very harshly. I
thought I could never be loved because I had Type 1 Diabetes and a
severe uncontrolled case of it. I was extremely skinny, lethargic, and
constantly having to use the bathroom. It is a chronic disease and
affected my life very much growing up. I was constantly hospitalized and
lost too much weight. I thought no one would ever want to carry this
burden along with me for the rest of their life. I truly thought I was
unlovable and no one would want to keep up with my doctors appointments
and bills. As time went on I did find the perfect man in my life and am
now engaged and cannot wait for a bright future with him. Looking back
it was a stupid thought I had in my head thinking I would never find
someone who would want to love me for what I had. Being able to accept
who I am now and with what I have has changed me as a person and my
behavior. My emotions are more controlled and my behavior is a lot
different than back then. I am a happier person in life and maturing has
really helped me cope. I am 22 now and I have come so far with a
different personality and a brighter look on life. I do believe this
belief change did have a great effect on my general personality as I had
stated before. I believe that when I was younger I wanted to be like
the other kids and be able to eat whatever I wanted and not spend my
weekends in the hospital. I wanted to be a normal kid, but growing up I
could see now that I can do those things and be like other adults.
Diabetes doesn’t control who I am as a person or control my life I
control it.
