I don't understand. :-( I'm so stupid.
Right now I'm reading "Feeling Good" by David D. Burns, M.D. It's a self help book that uses cognitive therapy.
I'm reading the part on the ten different cognitive distortions. I think I understand them when I read them, but there's this quiz and I'm not getting them! I haven't really tried, but I can't even start to try to figure them out!
I can't match the thoughts to the distortions.
For example, the thought, "I'm stupid because I can't complete a quiz in this book" is probably a distortion, but which one is it?
I think I'm mentally retarded. Oh wait, that's a distortion too, what is that?
I'm afraid I don't have the mental capacity to learn cognitive therapy. I'll never succeed.
More distortions! Aaaahhh!
LOL, this is kind of funny. Who knew my thoughts were riddled with so many darn distortions?
Now I shall attempt rational thought. LOL
I've only read about the distortions once, it takes a while to learn new concepts. I will get it with practice. (I hope)
