Welcome to the Bad Mood Club. This forum is a place for people with Bipolar, Schizophrenia, PTSD, Anxiety, Depression or any other psychological disorder. It's a chance to ask your peers questions, provide feedback to others, or even just vent. Oh, and most importantly, it's a chance to laugh and have fun as well. Pretty much anything goes, but please DO NOT personally attack others for having their own opinion or way of dealing with their issues. Carers of the mentally ill are welcome, too.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE COGNITIVE DISTORTION?
Being mentally ill, we seem to be hyper critical of ourselves. (and sometimes others) We often only see the bad in certain situations, but overlook the positive aspects of that situation. Some of us are often our own worst enemy and tend to focus on the negative side of things. They are usually in the form of negative self dialog. Have you tried something such as cognitive therapy to redirect these thoughts? Has it helped you?
