Negative Feedback Loop

Undiagnosed4321

What do you guys make of a Negative Feedback Loop?

Is this a common thing to get bogged down in Negative thinking, for one thing to happen which sends you down in a negative spiral, where you can't see the positives and just focus on the negatives and it makes you worse and worse?

Or is that another disorder?

    Since we tend to avoid sharing our feelings and thoughts with others, we also tend to stew and fester.

    You're describing me too.

    I must admit the Attwood video didn't make much sense. The instant emotional response does make sense. But I've never been in a position where I've said I want to kill myself and then Im alright half an hour later. No, those sort of depressive feelings have last a long time. I've wanted to do it from time to time, I've had thoughts where I want to drive my car at a tree. But I don't do it.

    And please rest assured, Im happy now. Im positive now.

    I decided the thing I was going to do, was that I need to share my emotions, or at least my issues. If people don't know what Im going through, then I've got no chance at being supported and more chance of annoying people. What I've been doing so far hasn't worked so might as well try something different.
