Oh my this is spot on. My therapist always tells me this. Thank you for posting.

[Hidden in reply to Willow2022]

Can you give some examples please of how not to identify with your thoughts....just curious. Thanks

[Willow2022 in reply to Hidden]

I see it as this: not all of your thoughts are true and can be trusted. You think you are worthless. You think you don’t deserve love. You think people are judging you. All of those thoughts are not true. They are thoughts brought on by your mental illness. My depression tells me I am not worthy of affection or self care but if I step outside myself (when I can) that isn’t true.

[Hidden in reply to Willow2022]

That makes sense. Thanks very much for explaining.

[Willow2022 in reply to Hidden]

No problem

Is this the same thing as mindfulness?
