Hey, thanks for your reply and recommendations. I have not heard of schema therapy, but I have heard of the concept of negative self-schemas; it's mentioned in my copy of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy by Olivia Telford. I'm not too crazy about that book and have recently purchased a couple CBT books on Amazon by Seth J. Gillihan.

I also bought a third book that has a bunch of cognitive behavioral therapy worksheets that seem like they might be useful. I'm not sure if I am going overboard with it or not, but time will tell I suppose.

I had actually completed the DBT book for psychosis, and it seemed to help me. I recently began reading it again. This time, however, when I did the questionnaire in the introduction, I was a little unsure about saying "Yes" to each question; whereas the first time I answered the questions, I answered "Yes" to every single one. I see this as a sign of personal progress and am glad about it.
