My feelings make me think things not true
my feelings and suspicion at times make me think things that are not true. It’s frustrating not only because I can assume the worst and go down a rabbit hole of thoughts and mental spinning but also because it stops me from having a productive full life. I spin mentally and pull things apart instead of looking outward and keeping on a path. Thanks god for my schedule. Maybe this stuff if it can’t be eliminated can hopefully be managed. I feel so stupid and frustrated. Deep breaths... so it goes and back to work.

Great awareness, Mark. Now to figure out what to do with it.
If you are taking votes, I vote you work on management rather than elimination. I subscribe to the theory that an awful lot of psychoses (pl) are tied to tremendous gifts which are far better trained than cured. You don't get to know which gift which psychosis is tied to until after you stop treating ^it^ like a bad thing. Assumptions of evil are not good training tools. Just a just-a-patient vote. . .
Continued support while you learn to tell a feeling from a fact. Anxiety and paranoia sure can muddy that distinction in a hurry.
It can all happen so quickly and uncontrollably. Rips me right out of my reality. Thanks so much for the support Arfie. I will try to apply your framing. You are amazing!!!’
You sure aren't stupid sweetie but I can hear your frustration..... Big hug sweetie.... Sometimes we do think things that aren't true... I think taking some time and not reacting is something that you display a lot of here and kudos to you for your wisdom …..xo
I have kinda the same issue....I call it jumping to the wrong conclusion.
thanks guys! Happy Thursday!. Just back from the office. Good to be back home!
