The chemicals in my brain are so off from stress , I don't think I can trust my own thoughts.

They are only thoughts you don't have to act on them or take them seriously.

Fill your mind with good thoughts

When possible slow down and try to examine the thought. I completely understand your frustration as often I've found myself thinking things that weren't true, or making simple mistakes and not even realizing it.

Sometimes the brain gets so busy, fatigued, damaged by the stress that it just goes on autopilot. Like it's sleepwalking I guess. That's when I try to take a pause. But as you probably already know, you don't necessarily realize when this is happening. The mind has a way of convincing itself that its good and it has everything under control.

I've been there. Looking back thinking did I put that there, or did I write that.
