I suffer from every single one of these twisted patterns of thinking. Every single one.
GAD/OCD/SAD sufferer my whole life. This must go hand in hand with these disorders - Which I believe all stem from a low self esteem.
I've been tortured by this brain of mine for 30 something years now and am out of ideas of what to do.
