> I wonder too about the cognitive impairment. I find sometimes that when I'm successful in changing my thought patterns, I start worrying that I'm too self-aware and WHY do I have to, in addition to all the other crap I obsess about, be hyper-aware of all my negative thought patterns? Does this make sense? I guess it's pointless to allow myself to get to that point but if I could control that kind of thinking, I wouldn't be in therapy, would I? :-)

Makes perfect sense. Why is my brain so messed up that I have to monitor my own thinking all of the time, to make sure that it's on the right track? I wonder sometimes whether it's really so great to be able to control one's thinking. Well, maybe what I really wonder is whether it's so great to ALWAYS control thinking. I get a kick sometimes over the crazy things I seem to come up with.

Sometimes it seems like we all need therapy. Or that it would be really helpful if everyone I knew were in therapy, so maybe I could take a break for a while.
