Negative Thinking affects me as well but through reading a lot on the subject of affirmations I now try to stop myself fom thinking bad thoughts. I think coming here and acknowledging it, is a great first step. You should write out everything that’s bothering you and then comment on each thing in third person.
Ex, ill say “everyone hates me i suck” and then ill comment on it and say something like “that’s so ridiculous, everyone does not hate you”
Sometimes writing it out makes you realize how ridiculous most of these thoughts are.
I also have mental issues and I take these exercises very seriously and wrk on myself everyday. It’s also helpful to say “stop!” In your head when you hear yourself going down that route. Hope that helps
What bob said was very helpful as well
