thought problems
Question:
In many ways I feel like I’m moving foward, I feel like I’ve grown and matured in many ways, in different areas of my life. I feel proud of myself for working on many issues honestly for the first time in my life.
That’s wonderful. :) But, one of the things that’s making my functioning somewhat limited is my thoughts. I keep having these stupid,ridiculous thoughts obsessively. I don’t know how to stop it.
If it hasn’t expired yet (or you have access to DejaNews), check out the thread "Re: yay. (not.)". There are several posts there dealing with cognitive therapy– you might also want to do a search on the subject on the WWW. For a brief definition, try http://www.mcwilliams.com/books/dep/dep3a.htm#Fifty stop them. Does anyone have any advice. Please don’t think I’m crazy. I maybe "eccentric", but I know I’m not crazy.
We know you’re not crazy, too. :) — For more information about this service, send e-mail to:

shit. what was all that rocky? i have a B.A. in psychology and couldnt follow any of that psychojargon. maybe im more thought disordered from this depression than i think….thought, disorderly,panack tattered nails are slpping Panack
Pan, Pan, Pull yourself together. I was a joke! <Jeez I don’t want to be responsible for pushing you over the brink. Holy batshit, you’re going to give me an anxiety attack! What "psychojargon" in which of my posts are you referring to? Besides, in this thread, I was using technobabble not psychojargon. As a psychology major, you are only responsible for knowing psychojargon. I admit, the whole thing was a very loose analogy to having bad mental programmming combined with a few mental genetic defects, but that’s my own crazy mind at work. You’re OK. *I* may not be OK, but *you* are. Next time I talk about the inner workings of my mind I’ll spoiler it, OK. I didn’t know it was so scary except to me! As usual I answered you with five times the verbiage as your question. When will I learn? Take care of yourself. Hugs, Rocky — For more information about this service, send e-mail to:

Possibly. But, mostly software problems, you know, old obsolete subroutines, incompatible versions of software, applications from different sources, lack of backward compatibility, software upgrades incompatible with old hardware; plus a few major hardware problems that came from the maufacturer and have never fully been corrected; the memory keeps gettin worse, I/O is not bad but may go next. It’s amazing it works at all! 
WOW. Your brain gets SOFTWARE UPGRADES???? You must be special!!

Hi…I know what it’s like…I also have strange, fleeting thoughts…they seem silly, strange, psychotic…I try to just let them float through and move on instead of getting upset about them…it’s easier that way…the harder you try to stop them, the longer they stick around… jen

you know. this makes me think. i don’t know an awful lot about brain physio… physio.. whatever. But isn’t there a ton of electrical currents runnin’ around up there? or something like that. My old tv, which was very very old, btw, sometimes got too much static buildup. So I’d have to switch it off, let the crackling die down, and then turn it back on.

i agree with wombn. the thought of OCD is kinda "fit-the-bill". are you seeing a pdoc? do you find yourself unable to ignore these thoughts until you act upon them in some way to "releive the pressure"?

hm.. I’m not a doctor, and I don’t know much about these things, but the thought of OCD popped into my mind. Has your therapist looked into that?
