Thinking of leaving

It is one of the cognitive distortions I posted some months ago; deciding what other people think. You are not a burden to yourself, so you are deciding you are a burden to them. They have not said anything, so you don't know.

It is always worth double checking whether what you think has real evidence to support it. Try not to over read things.

It is also worth taking a break for a few days, or a week or two, sometimes. You, like all of us, have other things in your life that can cause stress and can affect your capacity to cope. It can help to just push things away and chill out. A sense of perspective will soon come back.

People may not reply because they don't have anything to add to what you said. Rather than ignoring you, people may have read it and agreed.

I have been told I need to double check things like this before so I should do these fact checks. Like is it facts or just my over paranoid opinions. 

I never thought of that with the replies really, so yeah I defo have a lot to learn but I do feel coming here has helped me learn different things but I just didn’t want to upset people but as you say I need to check for evidence (hope I’m understanding this)

I might have a little bit of time off here as I have got a lot going on for real at the moment. Thank you for replying anyway 

Black and white thinking is another issue. You don't have to be here or leave, you can dip in and out. It is not one thing or the other.

If one week you have lots of energy and are here, and the next week you are not, it's ok.

You also need to look after yourself.

I do black and white thinking too much lol. Yet apparently I can read between the lines  I will be honest I don’t really know what that means. When we were kids it was just a secret way of swearing haha!
