so on this subject i am going to talk about everyday cognitive distortions in my life, my cup is literaly always half empty in my eyes. I constantly fear what others are thinking about me even when i see they arent even paying attention to me. When something happens to me that i feel is not fair i say "of course"because i feel as if someone is out to get me, god maybe. anyway this is a toghie for me because sometimes it feels as though everything i see is a distortion and always negative.
jenny, thank you so being so humble and sharing this with all of us. This is a very healthy risk you are taking by exposing this kind of vulnerability.
My cognitive distortion of the week begins on Thanks Giving day. I ate so much for dinner that I had all these negative impulses that I just blue if for the whole week and if I blew that meal and than why isn't okay to make poor decisions all week. I think there was a little all or nothing type thinking going on and that I began to catastrophize about all of my decisions for the week............
And we can see how one cognitive distortion can lead to a negative chain of events IE poor decisions
