Well, as a depression and anxiety sufferer myself, I can say that there are times where I simply do not feel that I have control over my thoughts. I wish I could always control my thoughts...but unfortunately, that is just not always the case. As far as I am concerned, depression and anxiety are forces that wreak havoc on the thoughts and minds of innocent people.
