I have distorted perceptions or "screwy thinking" pretty constantly, especially since I can't let go of it even when I know it's not right. I don't think I can trust myself to tell what is accurate and what is screwed up.

T gave me homework to spend 15 minutes every day writing about my screwy thinking that day. Then I have to end with three positive coping statements. I can easily spend an hour or two writing about the screwy thinking. Then I sit there and labor over the positive coping statements, as they do not come easily at all.
