hey,
sorry you hadn't gotten a response...sounds awful :-(
kind of like an OCD mixed with depression?
...like the thing you try most not to think about is the thing that of course pops into your mind?do you feel like you somehow could have prevented it if you'd fought the negative thoughts??
there's a chicken and the egg question then?
are negative thoughts the result of depression or is depression the result of negative thoughts?...I don't think they're mutually exclusive.
...these are my random thoughts in response to your post, I don't know if it makes sense.
monitoring your thoughts like that though, is that exhausting?
