I tried wearing a rubber band and snapping my wrist when I had a negative thought. That ended up with a lot of snapping!

I do wear a prayer bracelet and that is more positive.

Frankly, I am doing this one thought at a time. I have as many negative thoughts as everyone else. It seems to me almost every thought I have is negative.

I am trying to turn that around because frankly, living like this has become unbearable. It is just not worth it.

I just watched the movie "A Beautiful Mind" last night (again) and it was pretty amazing that John Nash managed his schizophrenia for a time simply by ignoring his hallucinations. In the end medication was helpful, but he did a lot of the work himself. His story amazes me because one person proved you can turn your mind...
