I am bombarded with negative thoughts all day long--still trying to get the medicine right to handle chronic depression and ADD. It starts in the morning as I walk from the parking lot to work...I see someone, say "hello," he/she says "hello" and I think "that person really hates me. That person thinks I'm the biggest loser around.." I'll go out to dinner and can only think of how I don't belong in that environment, how I have no right to be there, etc. It goes on and on. I cannot seem to "replace" these thoughts as is suggested in popular self-help texts...my thoughts may be distorted, but I believe them to be true and can't get them out of my head (I don't hear voices, just my own). Will meds help this??? As I said before, cognitive therapy has not worked for me.
