Propaganda
Any thought can be interpretation in two ways. As a depressive I will generally take the more negative view. It is like I have my very own propaganda machine that pushes negative thought on and on. Just like any good propaganda, this negativity is reinforced time and time again. This strong push to the negative becomes what seems real. The fight I have is to identify the triggers that start my propaganda machine going in full force.
Keeping on top of your thoughts is exhausting. I was thinking if in a sane moment I could list my top triggers that let propaganda central start working, I might be able to at least shake up the propaganda induced chain of thoughts.
