I wonder if we can recognize negative thoughts for what they are?
I would think a lot and then say something I thought was intelligent, but I usually would be writing a cutting complaint of some sort about my illness. This was fundamentally negative thinking. There was a catharsis to express my chief complaint. Anyway, for about 2 weeks I have been happy, and I wanted to express that for a change.
I recognize we all are in different stages and I appreciate the truth of what you all write.

It’s about the toning of our expressions, isn’t it? Is it a positive thought or a negative thought is very important to what we choose. Like with my sexuality: would it be a positive thing to believe myself gay? Perhaps it is even an “intrusive” thought. I don’t know, but I’ve never gone that way and all my life it’s been a negative and depressing thing. Therapy messed my mind up a lot…
I recognize that you are weighing what I wrote. The question of sexual orientation is a big topic. I was never 100% sure I was straight, but I was never put in any situations that would tempt me for being gay. I am thankful for that. I just need to be comfortable being straight. Like you said, is being gay a “negative thought” in modern culture? You are applying what I said, I think.
Borath, maybe this topic would work in a new post with that as the main topic. Or has this already been a topic?

I posted about this when I wanted to stop therapy. Treebeard didn’t like it very well. It was a little scandalous for a bit, I suppose. But I think people are sick of hearing about my therapy experience and the question of my sexuality.
I wonder if the gayness part of me is just a delusion?
