It is recognising a distorted thought, labelling it distorted and remembering that you are not your thoughts. This is what I need to keep in mind.
It's like I need to re-train my brain and adapt a more positive framework to work from.
I'm glad I'm sober for many many reasons though
Hi Stewy: my doc said the same thing about the problems of changing meds too much. It took me several tries to get the right medicines and then the right combo to battle both depression and anxiety. Hang in.
I never realized how depressed and anxious I was until I stopped drinking and my mind cleared. It has been a tough road and I am not there yet, but so much better with med help and no fogged mind from booze.
Congrats on what I hope is about 434 days now!
