You have to find a way to remind yourself that what you're thinking is untrue. Trust me it wont always work but it helps. My therapist gave me the mantra" slow down, sleep and seroquel" when I'm manic.

When I'm depressed I'm sure all my coworkers are talking about how much they hate me. Family too.

Yes I actually see my therapist tomorrow. I wear an elastic band around my wrist and snap it sometimes. I totally got through it though, no pychosis or delusion. I just want it to go away sometime, like is that gonna keep happening. Like with practice will it go awsy or do you just have to fight it. Plus my parents are miserable, they could give a **** less if I were dead.
My father was just diagnosed with liver cancer and he still drinks. He is so miserable, im tired of being the family punching bag anymore. Hes a drunk. He was always a drunk and im an addict so I use to deal with it sometime.
