Are you practicing telling yourself to stop those thoughts and think of something different?

Do a little of something that makes you happy every day!
Yeah, I try to tell myself that I don't need to think about certain stuff because they're not relevant and I try to focus on other, happier things. But my mind doesn't allow me peace and always takes me back to certain issues, it won't let go of it unless I "solved" it.
It's great you are working to try to stop yourself...

Yeah it's just so hard. My mind keeps getting back to stuff I want to stop thinking about and it's really hard to let go..
On a positive note, I'm back to doing the Fab 5

So good to see you on the Fab 5s!
I know it's hard, but the more you do it the more automatic it will become.

Thank you xx Yeah it's not easy but I know it's not impossible. For now I just try and focus on keeping the mood diary going, doing affirmations, mindfulness etc. and obviously speaking to the therapist. As a quote in one of my fave films (Sing) says "You know what's great about hitting rock bottom? There's only one way left to go, and that's up"
That's an awesome post! I'm so proud of you for keeping going and trying!

Thank you Suzi xx
I had an okay weekend overall. Went for some walks (and rollerskating) and yesterday we got takeaway dinner. Today's a bit harder with the intrusive thoughts and stuff but I'll be doing some mindfulness, affirmations etc. this afternoon again and I hope it'll help a bit xx
Rollerskating? So cool! I haven't done any since I was very, very much younger and I was *slightly*... OK, totally rubbish and spent more time falling over than on my feet!
You can do it! Can you get out at lunch for a walk or something?

It's so much fun indeed! I love rollerskating, iceskating, swimming... Bless you falling over, that's definitely not nice
I went for a short walk yesterday. Am not feeling too good mentally today sadly. But I'm just holding onto the hope that it'll pass one day...
