How can I stop it...

How do I stop the voice of negativity inside my head ? It's constant.
There's always this little voice in my head telling me I'm fat, ugly, people are judging, what others will be thinking of me, I'm useless, I'm worthless than someone else etc.
I try and ignore the thoughts but it's constant. I'm mid way through CBT but I fear it is not working.

Any success stories or advice welcome!

How about trying the Three Good Things strategy?

happyproject.in/three-good-things/

It's very simple and doesn't take long - always gives me a lift if I am feeling low (and I know that isn't quite the issue you are describing).

For me, three good things so far today: seeing my cats play in the garden; enjoying the view of blue sky and gardens from my bedroom this morning; left over pudding from yesterday (a moderately sized portion, so no beating myself up for eating it Smile).

Hope this helps!

Persevere with the CBT, negative thinking patterns develop over a long time so that they become automatic, so challenging your thoughts and changing your thinking will also take time.
