If you can't trust your thoughts, what can you trust?

[Guest guest]

I've been feeling very down. The thoughts, "There's no help for you; nothing you do will ever work" echo through my mind like spam leaflets on a blustery day.I was thinking this as I sat outside the therapist's office yesterday when it occurred to me to ask who was saying these things. I didn't say (or think), "Thanks, mind." I did think it rather odd, though. That's no great insight, but it's something I can carry with me as I blunder along my way.I don't practice Act. I read a bit here, and a bit there, think little of it (it's all written for someone else because no one knows the trouble I've seen tra-la-la). And then, once in a while -- in a wee while -- I'll think to ask just who is doing all this (often) deeply negative thinking.In retrospect, just about everything I say/write here and elsewhere seems like pretentious BS. Maybe it is. Who's to judge? The feelings that inform the writing are not malicious, that much I can avow. And I apologize if what I write here offends.Best wishes,Detlef
