Be Aware of #CognitiveDistortions

Every day I have a reminder of my phone set to go off that says “I am Aware of Cognitive Distortions”. It only goes off once per day. I could probably use another two or three…dozen reminders over the course of the day, as could most people. Cognitive distortions or perceiving reality inaccurately, is as natural and normal and easy and automatic as breathing. Is it possible for people to not…

65. Battling Mental Health Issues While on Vacation

This is just a copy of an Instagram post I made the other day about how I felt while on vacation in Puerto Rico. If you wanna read my full rundown of the vacation, you can read it here. I also shared tips for first time fliers & for planning a vacation outside the U.S. here. Lastly, you can read my packing list here. Click the photo to view my post on Instagram.

FORTUNE TELLING

It is a type of cognitive distortion in which a person believes that they can predict the future, usually a future with negative outcomes and take those predictions to be indisputable facts.

The person doesn't objectively consider the various possible scenarios and takes the negative outcome to be the most possible outcome. This type of thinking causes a lot of unnecessary distress and ultimately influences the person's thinking and choices in a negative way.

Fortune telling behavior happens more often when a person is anxious or depressed. It also effects their relationships as the person makes decisions based on what they think will happen instead of real events.

Fortune telling predicts the future based on faulty thinking. All of us exhibit this behaviour once in a while but it becomes a problem when it has become a constant pattern. It is essential that as an individual you take a step back mentally and do an honest and objective appraisal of your situation and yourself, to help combat such thinking.

Harrow: completely traumatized and freaked out from the last time she siphoned Gideon and basically watched her die; has recently come to the realization that Gideon is far too precious for her to lose; upset that Gideon is pressuring Harrow to siphon her again

Gideon: "omg she hates me i'm such a screwup"

list of cognitive distortions

Cognitive distortions are biased and negative thinking patterns not based on fact or reality. They impact how we see ourselves/others and are usually associated with depression, anxiety, or trauma. (Note: this list was given to me by my therapist and is not my original writing.)

All-or-nothing thinking — You see things in black-and-white categories. If your performance falls short of perfect, you see yourself as a total failure.

Overgeneralization — You see a single negative event as a never-ending pattern of defeat.

Mental filter — You pick out a single negative detail and dwell on it exclusively so that your vision of all reality becomes darkened, like the drop of ink that discolors the entire beaker of water.

Disqualifying the positive — You reject positive experiences by insisting they “don’t count” for some reason or other. In this way you can maintain a negative belief that is contradicted by your everyday experiences.

Jumping to conclusions — You make a negative interpretation even though there are no definite facts that convincingly support your conclusion. A) Mind reading: You arbitrarily conclude that someone is reacting negatively to you, and you don’t bother to check this out. B) Fortune telling: You anticipate that things will turn out badly, and you feel convinced that your prediction is an already-established fact.

Magnification (catastrophizing) or minimization — You exaggerate the importance of things (such as a goof-up or someone else’s achievement), or you inappropriately shrink things until they appear tiny (your own desirable qualities or other people’s imperfections). This is also called the “binocular trick.”

Emotional reasoning — You assume that your negative emotions necessarily reflect the way things really are. “I feel it, therefore it must be true.”

Should statements — You try to motivate yourself with should and shouldn’t, as if you had to be whipped and punished before you could be expected to do anything. “Musts” and “oughts” are also offenders. The emotional consequences are guilt. When you direct “should” statements towards others, you feel anger, frustration, and resentment.

Labeling and mislabeling — This is an extreme form of overgeneralization. Instead of describing your error, you attach a negative label to yourself. “I’m a loser.” When someone else’s behavior rubs you the wrong way, you attach a negative label to them. Mislabeling involved describing an event with language that is emotionally loaded.

Personalization — You see yourself as the cause of some negative external event, which in fact you were not primarily responsible for.

Journal Entry: Anxiety

⚠️ Trigger Warning: Anxiety & ED talk I’ve been experiencing a LOT of anxiety lately & I think it’s mostly due to stress. My parents went out of town a few days ago & will be gone for a total of 10 days. In that time, I’m going to have the responsibility of taking care of my son by myself…. I know most single moms do this all the time, but I don’t. I have ALWAYS had the help of my parents. (Not…

On a rainy evening when your eyes pour as you leave someone’s home, it’s okay to hold yourself together with the warmth of a latte and the silence of your company as you occupy yourself with work. It’s okay because maybe by the time you finish the food you ordered with your coffee you will realize that you were very hungry. And as you get more of your work done, you will realize that you were lowkey stressed about getting it done at the back of your mind that whole time. And as you keep quiet and not force yourself to articulate anymore you will realize that you were just done with socializing and your social battery being below red was what was making you feel off when you were leaving that home earlier. And by the time you are done at the café you will realize that this evening you successfully overcame a bunch of the cognitive distortions that fuck with your mind like emotional reasoning and jumping to conclusions and all-or-nothing thinking. And then you can realize that the last six months of therapy have helped. And you may also realize that you are simply like a child who gets cranky when they get hungry and tired and that instead of some sort of emotional outburst which is unnecessary and confusing you just need to step away, feed yourself and rest and recover. And if even after that you feel off or low, we can investigate and confront. But first, let’s just check in with the first level of your Maslow’s hierarchy needs - your physiological need to eat food and nourish yourself in a timely manner, your need to keep yourself hydrated with water, your need to use the loo (even though you hate using any restroom outside of your home’s), and your need to sleep and let your body and mind rest. And now, we can leave this café on this rainy night with a smile and more confidence in our ability of taking care of ourselves, of understanding ourselves better, and of improving and healing.

Humans are the most disgusting species. Everything with them is all about violence, harming people or animals, lying, and hedonistic behaviors. Nothing is about forgiveness, love, or virtues anymore. Virtues have become deeply stigmatized it’s seen as laughable to even practice them.

#my text #also I don’t see the point of a DNI list bc people do what they want anyway #and if I say DNI: anti recovery it won’t work bc anti recovery people think they’re pro recovery #it’s be funny seeing how people react if the gods came down to eartj to set us straight in our behaviors #and put us in our place #and give us the self awareness back that we lack #people would be so guilt and shame ridden for what they’ve done #and I’d laugh at everyone #cognitive distortions #cognitive dissonance

Years ago, I was ranting to my therapist about why everything felt like such a struggle, that no one else had issues like mine, and that I was alone in the world because of it. She grabbed a textbook from her shelf and opened it to a chart like this.

Not only were my problems not unique and of my own creation, they were literally a textbook case.

And that was the start of me working on those distortions.
