Hi Melinda,
Thank you for sharing your experiences. I think gaining control over your beliefs and thoughts is an extremely valuable skill, one which I have yet to learn.
I can really identify with your example. I used to have automatic thoughts when I was acutely ill, usually related to violent themes (such as, "They are going to kill me"). However, with medication I have far fewer such thoughts. I might do even better with therapy.
Your message has inspired me to look into CBT--it sounds like a great thing, even for those of us with psychotic symptoms. Thanks again for posting.
