Therapist: you have control over your thoughts, you can kick out the negatives ones. Remember “you can’t control who comes to the door but you can control if you invite them in”!
but like what if i slam the door on those thoughts and they just seep through the door and let themselves in anyways
how do i control that
like how do i make myself not have that sinking feeling in my gut that also saps enjoyment out of things, that convinces me slowly but surely that i shouldn’t say anything because what i say isn’t worthwhile, that convinces me that everything subpar i do is worthless because it’s not The Best so i shouldn’t bother doing it to begin with. I hate this i hate my brain and i wish i could just STAY content without shooting myself in the shoot with thoughts like this.
