Question Everything
One huge lesson I’ve learned throughout the last 6 months is this:
Not every thought that comes into your head is valid.
So that little voice that says
“You’re not going to get better”
or
“You look fatter”
or
“Your life sucks”
You know that voice? It’s wrong. In fact, it’s wrong a lot.
For the last year, happiness has been a rarity for me. I couldn’t remember the last genuine laugh I had, the last moment of pure pleasure. I was stuck in a mental fog of exhaustion, depression, and anxiety, and you know a major reason why?
Because I was listening to that voice with my ears wide. I was taking in everything it said as truth and fact.
But the real truth is, that voice is a fucking liar. And most of the things it says is lies. Plain and simple.
TALK BACK.
I can’t say it enough. In fact, the method of talking back to your thoughts is actually taught in therapy for anxiety patients. You know why? Because it works.
Google automatic negative thoughts and find which ones you fall prey to. Then TALK BACK TO THEM.
I’m not kidding.
I’ve begun to talk back. And as a result I’ve begun to heal. I see it in myself every day. Join me.
