Do you prevent negative thoughts in your mind?

And do you think that preventing negative thoughts is a wrong way to deal with them? Maybe one should just go with the feelings even when they are negative maybe?

I find it important to reject thoughts that aren’t yours. Say “I reject that”. Then the thought comes back less often.

I frequently swear under my breath about negative thoughts.

Now I actually think about it, I would say it’s probably much more useful to reject them, otherwise you will pay attention to them and just be miserable.

No way am I an expert at ‘life’, as sometimes I cannot help but spiral with these negative thoughts.

Right now I am much stronger than I was just a few weeks ago.

Just try to relax, and not let it get to you if you can

There are two ways that are best in dealing with negative thoughts. One is to accept them. The other is to focus on something else, like what you see or another thought. Imo

I don’t fight my thoughts, I just go with the flow these days, changing your environment and habits will change your thoughts

Yeah, I guess this is the main thing in the SZ. We fight our negative thoughts and feelings. But I guess we should just let them go. Maybe you’d just add a stamp to them and let them go.

Yea, I’ve heard labeling them as “a thought” or a category of thought, such as “analyzing” or “deliberating,” is good

Feelings yes. Listen to them, but not thoughts. Thoughts in my opinion are like ideas and concepts. Bought and sold like commodities except the market is the environment.

Whatever you see is whatever you believe.

Read up on “Negativity Bias”. It is completely normal to have negative thoughts and to fixate on them. Learning to think positive, training yourself to think positive takes time, read up on CBT for that.

Negative, positive, neutral, they all come and go. I don’t interfere

For me I notice I tend to fight against negative stuff but I guess what’s best is to take better care of myself to reduce instances that trigger symptoms and reactions (which I’m still working on) like eating and sleeping regularly

i reserve the right to hate back those that tried to destroy my life.

i feel it is a human right to feel anger and hatred towards such a person. in my life they that did it were extremely violent on me.

i can hate them because i can and will.

In the past I cultivated a philosophic attitude in which I blamed others for very little. Now not so much.

i don’t prevent it but i try not to obsess over negative thoughts so much. Let them be and let them pass i’d say…
