I’m not a burden. I’m not a burden. I need to stop overthinking
-
This is about everyone. Literally everyone I’ve talked to today. I’m trying so hard not to overthink and to make sure I’m a good friend but oh god I’m a burden
-
You’re not a burden, and the thoughts telling you otherwise are stupid, and don’t deserve to spend time in your mind, because you’re such an awesome person
-
Thank you. I’m trying not to believe them

I told my therapist about my intrusive thoughts and ones like that, and she said this about it: “picture your mind like a stage, and your thoughts like the actors. There are plenty of good actors, and a couple bad ones. Don’t let the bad ones steal the spotlight. Highlight the good actors, and cut the bad ones from the show if they have no right to be there. Don’t waste your showtime on the bad actors”
Not sure if that helps, but it’s a nice mantra I like to tell myself when thoughts get really s---ty -
That’s a really good analogy, I like that
But how do I know that the good actors actually like me and are enjoying being part of the show? -
Your thoughts are the actors, alexi. The good actors are there no matter what. They’re the only things guaranteed to stay with you no matter what, so you might as well give them more time on the stage if it means a better show in the end
-
I didn’t read it properly. Sorry.
Thank you. What if the show ends up being s---tier without the bad actors and the bad actors were right about it being bad?
I know you’re trying to help and I know I’m making it difficult, sorry -
