Ignoring things does not make them go away. I found that it was better to listen to my self talk, and then dispute all of the parts that were irrational. In the end I have new rational beliefs and powerfully supportive self talk. I find that much of what happens in my world has absolutely nothing to do with me.
oh my goodness I just started listening to myself on my concerns with anxiety and over thinking. Just yesterday I dod a scenario in my head and thought..if i said that another person was thinking what I was..would I think it was a rational thought or reaction. It has helped me, but I have to remember to use it.
You just described my life. It is hard to go through all of those. It’s like we run out of reserves and there is no way to fill back up. I hope you can find some relief.
Thanks me too, the drug of the month is Rexulti only on it a week and change. Hoping it helps me without gaining a lot of weight. What meds have you been on?
I have been on Wellbutrin, Zoloft and Celexa. Currently I am on Cymbalta and Vyvanse. I am better than I was, but not as well as I would like. I don't know if my brain will ever heal enough to go back to where I was before all of the stress and my breakdown.
