Overcoming Thoughts

This is an older version of the Overcoming Negative Thoughts activity. Click here to use the newer version.

In this activity, you will learn skills to overcome a thought you struggle with. With practice, you can integrate these skills into your life, helping you gain greater control over your thoughts and actions.

What thought are you struggling with right now?

Work on other common thoughts. Click on the thought you’d like to work on below to start.

1. Some thoughts come to our mind so quickly that it seems like they must be true. We often accept these thoughts without considering other ways of thinking.
  Let’s rework the thought you struggle with. What is a healthier version of your thought above? This might be a different way of viewing the situation or a more compassionate statement to tell yourself.
2. Looking at evidence for your reworked thought reinforces that thought. It encourages a more self-compassionate way of thinking.
  What evidence in your life supports your reworked thought above?
3. Sometimes reworked thoughts don’t seem believable. This may be because there are core automatic beliefs driving your initial negative thought. These core beliefs can influence the way we see ourselves, other people, and the world.
  What core belief is driving your initial thought above? (If you are struggling to identify it, try asking yourself, “If this were true, what would it mean about me? Why does this matter to me? What would happen if this were true? What would happen next?”)
4. Like reworking thoughts, we can rework core beliefs by identifying healthier beliefs. A healthier belief might be a different way of viewing the world or yourself, especially a more self-compassionate statement to tell yourself.
  Rework the core belief. What is a healthier version of your core belief?
5. One way to reinforce a healthier belief is to find evidence that supports the healthier belief rather than the core belief.
  What evidence in your life supports this healthier core belief?
6. Being hurt sucks. Part of healing is letting go and working towards believing your new healthier thoughts.
  Why is it important for you to let go of this thought? OR What would letting go of this thought let you do?
7. Recognizing biased thoughts, reworking them, and reinforcing these healthier thoughts is a skill. With practice, this skill can become more intuitive and eventually become a habit.
  This practice can help you feel more hopeful, confident and in control of your situation.
  Pretend you’re talking to a friend. What would you say to encourage them to recognize and rework thoughts like you do above?
8. What good would come from reflecting on your thought and reworking it like you did above?
1. What you do influences how you feel and think. If you change what you do, you can change how you feel and what you think.
  What could you do to make you feel better or think differently than the thought above?
2. When we do things despite having thoughts we struggle with, we can better reach our goals.
  What success might come from doing the thing above?
3. When you do new things, it is helpful to identify obstacles you might face.
  What is one obstacle you may encounter if you do the thing above?
4. Now that you’ve identified the obstacle, imagine how you could respond to it in a way that allows you to continue moving forward.
  How will you deal with that obstacle you identified to do the thing above?
5. Just like packing a bag for a vacation, sometimes you need to take steps to prepare to do something.
  What would be the first step of doing the thing above?
6. Sometimes we need support or encouragement to get something done – like a workout buddy or a to-do list to check something off.
  What would you need to help you do the thing above?
7. Recognizing biased thoughts and doing something despite them is a useful skill that can make us think and feel better.
  Pretend you’re talking to a friend. What would you say to encourage them to do things despite thoughts, like you did above.
8. What good would come from reflecting on your thought and reflecting on doing something to think and feel better like you did above?

What Others Are Saying

today i can say im okay, but theres just not even one day without stress. im stressing myself a lot everyday but i try to think but something else and that works. bad thoughts come back as always but i keep doing the same thing all over again. i feel like others dont go through the same things i do, because they seem fine they have fun and a lot of friends and they are actually living their life not just being physically here and dead inside. i will sound a little bit selfish, but hearing them saying how they hate life because they dont have anyone. literally you have a lot of people in your life, you have a whole family that loves you, you are pretty which makes everything easier for you. meanwhile im here knowing i want to die and accepted it and how everyone hates me ignores me a dont have anyone or wont have anyone. you have a whole life that is in front of you but i dont. and i accepted it i mean yes it kinda makes me sad but like i said i accepted it im okay with it i wont try to change it anymore. if it changes ten it changes. i guess we really dont know whats happening in others people lives. we cant judge them but i gotta say it made me feel like no one really knows me which is actually true. someone told me a dont let people close to me and i was like yeah i already know bad not thing about it too much but then i really started thing about it and wow. i wasnt my whole life like this, i dont let people close to me because ive been hurt as a child a lot with this stuff, like letting people close to me and loving them with my whole heart but that person always realized im not enough and they found someome else it ended up me being sad and alone watching that one i loved leaving me for someone else- well thats why i feel like i dont matter and that everyone will leave me. that i will never be enough. thats why i dont let people close to e, everoyne will hurt me and leave me anyway so why try. i dont even let my family close to me. thats has been bothering me last time- how im not close to my family. not to my aunts uncles cousins.... just nothing. i dont have that relationship with them like i should have. i want but iat te same time i dont. i dont feel comfortable around them because i barely speak to the, feels like he is the only chance. i dont want to put pressure on him. dont want him to feel like he has to save me or something, but i know he can save me. i wont tell him that. if things dont work out he will think its his fault because he could save me.

today i realized something.. i was laughing at something like videos or i was just on my phone and something made me laugh. for a few min i forgot all the horrible things that are happening. because i forgot it made me think how im doing better maybe i was overreacting or maybe im not that sure about my death but them booom.... i closed my phone and all the reality came back. the thing i realized is no im not better that was just a second of feeling no anxiety. my point is thats not a real life watching a video that will make you laugh then back to reality. to that sad anxious horrible everyday reality. i accepted that i dont want to live anymore and i want my life to end. it is my decision right.

I've mostly accepted that I'm not fine and that's OK, there's no real need to be fine. Though life does get quite dull at times, especially when you have high intelligence, since it causes you to wonder and look up things. Ignorance is bliss they say.. Anyway to anyone reading this or to future me, it still feels like I'm on the curve up so that's good. Although I must say it does get quite boring in life, especially in the weekends when you want to do something, but have no one to do it with, making you feel like not doing it, which in turn brings you down. My advice to future me or anyone else reading this and feeling similarly, you might think "oh I'm only distracting myself from my sadness" and while that may be true, is that really so bad? If it makes you happy I say do it, you miss every shot you don't take. But also remember to get time for yourself if you need it. That's it for this time, Tils signing out! ☺️

Something really humiliating happened to me today and I can't stop thinking about it. Also, on a more serious note that should be my number one priority but my brain doesn't work that way, my friend told me they really, seriously, genuinely want to kill themselves, and the last time they were like that they were hospitalized for a long time. Also also, my sibling hasn't said a word to me in a month and they matter more than anyone else in the world, and I love them so much, and they ARE my world and my reason for not killing myself, and they've decided to pretend I don't exist and I can't deal with it.

My mind races at night and I can’t seem to slow it down to enjoy anything. I go and go and go during the day and then at night I am bored and nothing feels super engaging to my brain. It comes and goes and I will pick up a hobby for a week or a month or a year and then get bored and move on to something else. Lately it’s been much worse.

It's 1:22AM, today is the last day of school. Well I still need to sleep but technically it already the 2nd. I just want to cry and feel bad about myself. That's all I want to do but my fucking body won't let me. I would be completely broken if I didn't have vanessa to be honest. I won't ever commit suicide because I can't do that to my mom, but vanessa saved me. I have no clue where I would be without her. Probably trapped in a relationship with medical student that I need more than wanted because I would have had no one else. Well I guess thats it for now. And yes. I am taking a shit while typing this.

Ever since I looked up porn 3 times last night and when Mom and Dad talked to me about what I'm going through, I've been regressing. God, please heal me so I don't lose what makes me the real me. Please do show me the truth. Please heal me so I can talk to you and be honest and not be afraid to talk about the truth and what I'm feeling and what I'm going through. Please heal me from all the hurt I may have and from the depression. Please heal me so I don't believe in any of the lies. I will not rely on my own intelligence. I will rely on You. I will wait on You. Please heal me so I can talk to you and be the real me. Please heal me from the hurt caused by emotional abuse and narcissism.

I read from 2 websites at work today that made my current state worse. It feels like I'm regressing back to my old ways and it feels as if I have trapped anxiety and/or emotions from reading them. One website was about smiling depression, specifically the part that said, "It's important to find ways to reach the point where you don't need to force out a smile, but so it comes naturally and comfortably," the other was 7 signs about spiritual transformations, specifically the part that said, "Let your brain do it's thing." I'm having a lot of trouble being the real me. I will go to God and trust in Him.

I feel overwhelmed with school, and I feel like a failure for being incapable of completing the realistic expectations/goals I set for myself that day. I feel like I take forever/way too long to complete tasks for school when they shouldn't. For example, today I told needed to write my article (originally due today) and prepare my faux-direct for tomorrow morning's evaluation. It is now 20h44 and I have completed none of those two basic tasks. No matter where I am, I feel incapable on focusing on the job in front of me, and let myself get lost in rabbit-holes to avoid my school work. But it's not always that I feel this crappy. Plus, I never ever submit work late, I generally force myself to hand it in on time, even if it means a lack of sleep or nutrition. I wish I could be efficient and not dumb like everybody else, aka a normal person.
