Rigid?

Sometimes I find myself becoming very rigid in my thinking
and this also usually presents a very narrow view.
At these times, I will find myself not being able to see
another perspective than my own.

Keeping active is a way to shake it off, when I can. I've tried to figure it out
but I thought to bring it here.

I am just wondering if "rigidity" and a limited social perspective is
part of Sz?

I just reread my most recent journal entry and it is like I am fumbling through concepts and it's not very clear.

Cognitive distortions comes to mind here. Would think CBT would help with that at any rate. As you probably know CBT is part of the mindfulness approaches and less intrusive then a great deal of the therapies around. For self help see if this helps any. Although mainly deals with depression as the black dog institute does mainly. CBT does help with BP, SZ and SZA among a few it's just a matter of challenging your thinking this Is a pdf. http://www.blackdoginstitute.org.au/docs/CBT_JillianBall.pdf

Thanks too NIstegmos.

Taking inspiration from another post I made i am trying to reach beyond my comfort zones. Once in a comfortable place I can be so rigid so as to not be able to think beyond that comfort zone.

Once I do think beyond the comfort zone - the moods can be all OVER THE PLACE! Just a mess. I am trying to move on with my day - and I find that like any other in this situation ( as in not having a good day) we all have to tough it out and just make it a better day. Focus on things that can help make it a better day and distract us. Sorry if this is ranting. I just wanted to share. I need to keep active because right now, I don't feel so good.
