For a while when I was first in recovery I called my mom negativo because she seems to see the worst in everything....then we came up with a code word martini for when it would be helpful for her to sort of look on the brighter side. In her case she was willing to try to change it wasn't very effective but I was so sensitive to it when psychotic....like she would tell me I probably had diabetes or something or thyroid so when I was sick I told them to test for those I was so sure I had them. It's like all that negativity seemed like truth to me I couldn't just brush it off. I'm fine now but man early in recovery I just couldn't handle it.
