Did I Think That?: Dr. Messina & Associates: Clinical PsychologistsHow We Think
How we think about a situation often determines how we feel. For example, if we think something is going to turn out great, we will likely feel confident and optimistic. If, on the other hand, we think something is going to fail miserably or cause problems, we can feel depressed or anxious. Sometimes our thoughts about a situation contain errors, or inaccuracies. These errors in thinking fuel anxious or depressed feelings. The erroneous thoughts often happen automatically, that is, they occur without warning or attention when particular situations occur.
Below is a list of common errors in thinking that lead to feelings of anxiety or depression (adapted from Aaron Beck 1976, David Burns 1980).
Thought Errors
- Mind reading.
Believing that you can know what someone is thinking or how someone feels towards you. For example, you suggest a vacation idea to your husband and he doesn’t say anything. You conclude that not only is he not interested, but that he thinks you are foolish to suggest such a thing.
- Personalization.
Believing that you caused situations or events without supporting evidence. For example, your friend doesn’t call you for a couple of weeks and you believe that it must be something that you said.
- Catastrophic thinking.
Blowing things out of proportion; minor issues become BIG deals. For example, your boss counsels you on something minor, and you believe you are going to get fired, not be able to find another job, end up homeless, turn to a life of crime, and end up in prison!
- Predicting the worst.
You believe in the worst possible scenario without supporting evidence. For example, your daughter’s teacher calls you in for a parent-teacher meeting and you think, she must be acting defiant, disrespectful, and fighting with other kids. Or thinking that because you are having a bad day today, things will always be this bad.
- Perfectionistic thinking.
Thinking that everything you do must be perfect. Getting anxious or down on yourself after a social gathering for the smallest things, like the timing of your laugh was off, or the way you laughed made people think you are insensitive, or the volume of your laugh was a little too much for that situation.
- Magnifying the negative.
Focusing only on the negative aspects of a situation, while leaving out the positives. For example, your boss compliments you for your performance on a particular task, and you are upset that she didn’t notice your performance on everything else.
- Emotional reasoning.
Thinking with your heart and not with your head; you will do something (or not do something) depending on how you feel. “I love you so much; let’s move in together”. Or, “I don’t feel that talking about my problems will work, so I won’t tell anyone”.
- All or nothing.
Putting things in extreme categories. For example, “You are always critical of me”, “No one likes me”, or “I am a total failure”.
- Labeling.
You assign a label to yourself or others instead of categorizing the shortcomings. For example, you forget to pick up an appetizer for the party, as requested by the host, and you believe that you are a loser instead of just thinking, “I forgot”. Or, after forgetting to pick up the appetizer you blame the host for being irresponsible by not reminding you to pick up the appetizer.
- Blaming.
Blaming others for your emotional reactions and what you do.
For example, slamming the door and then saying, “He makes me SO angry!”
Thinking Differently
Thinking this way is not uncommon. When you feel anxious or depressed, it is important to examine your thoughts to determine whether there is evidence to support them. Often times when a Thought Error is there, people find that there is not much evidence to support their erroneous thought and they can decide to think differently about their situation. See Facing Anxiety and Facing Depression for a closer look at examining thoughts related to these feelings.
Next Steps
Sometimes we get stuck in our thinking errors and our anxious or depressed feelings get the best of us. At these times it is important to reach out for help.

Support Your Veterans
Life after military experience can be an uphill mental battle. In honor of our veterans, we express our gratitude and remind them that they are not alone.
Life with Unresolved Trauma
Some people spend their entire life holding onto moments of pain in their body and mind. These painful, repressed moments accumulate over time. Holding onto them becomes harder and harder to bear. This is life with unresolved trauma.
Thankful Thursdays
Every Thursday in November, we will be posting a Thankful Thursday journal prompt. Our goal is to encourage an attitude of gratitude, positive thinking, and cognitive reframing.
Overcome Your Fears
Whatever keeps you up at night and has control of your mental health, you carry the power to overcome it.
The trick is to learn how to play the game. Here’s a few tips to help you overcome your fears and anxieties that block you from living your life.
Mental and Physical Health are Connected
Physical and mental health are undeniably linked. If you experience problems with one, you’re likely to experience problems with the other. Over time, unprocessed emotions take up our vital energy and we begin to experience physical symptoms.
Self-Care Isn’t Selfish
At what point does self-sacrifice become self-neglect? What is often praised as heroic and caring can be the very thing that is hurting your health. If you have anxiety or depression, you likely know all-too-well what it’s like to neglect yourself.

I think so
Evgeny Grishkovets
Hello!
Summer is over. Everything. Friends are calling, buddies who have been lost for the summer. They come back and want to meet. The last few days I’ve only been answering the question: “How are you? How are you? How is the family?" I tell them: "Everything is fine ... if not for Ukraine."
I'm really doing well. I spent the summer with my family and there were many joys. I am writing a new performance and I feel that it is working out. On Saturday, the younger brother Alyosha got married. He married a good and beloved young lady. They both have jobs and prospects. The eldest Natasha moved to the second year. Son Sasha is going to 4th grade. Masha got tanned and stretched out over the summer. Parents were at the wedding
I repeat to myself like a mantra: "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay." I persuade myself, I convince: "Everything is fine." But I can’t drive away, at least for a while, forget and not feel anxiety and some kind of stuffy longing.
I look at the children going about their wonderful children's business, ignoring the working TV, which shows only war news every day, and my heart grows cold and shrinks from anxiety and longing. From fear for them and for the world that awaits them, the world in which I cannot protect them, the world that is crumbling and torn right now. It collapses irrevocably.
I feel completely helpless and I see my weak hands... weak to protect and protect even the most precious and beloved.
And everything is fine at home… Well, except for the news on TV. And that means it's not good.
All summer I talked and argued a lot about Ukraine, about what is happening, about Putin, about America. All summer. A lot of! Talked endlessly on the phone. Wrote thousands of messages. I heard curses addressed to me and to my homeland. I heard savagery for the glory of my Motherland. I heard misunderstanding of my homeland. I talked and listened, listened and talked. Several times he himself broke into curses.
I watched the news, Related content
Now I want to say very calmly what I think about all this. To tell those who are at least somehow interested in what I think, and I myself am not without interest.
This is not a policy statement, not a manifesto and not an analysis of what is happening. It's just what I think. I think so ... These are my personal, exclusively private considerations. Something in my thoughts seems naive, emotional and banal to me... But I think so. I think so...
I THINK THIS
As I write this, I feel terribly alone. Terrifying! Because I have not heard those with whom I would agree for a long time.
It has always been important for me in the process of observing and experiencing different times and political troubles to find a person who would be a professional politician, political scientist, analyst, journalist ... A person more informed, knowledgeable, intelligent, and at the same time a professional whom I would trust and somehow correlated his opinion and vision of what was happening with his deeper and more thorough.
Simply put, I needed someone who could explain to me the essence of political and economic processes. In such a person, everything was important to me: from reputation and way of speaking to the style of clothing. Such were. Now there is no. For a long time. And in recent months there is not even a trace. I don't agree with everyone. There are those whom I believe, but there are no those with whom I agree.
I do not agree with Mikhalkov and I do not agree with Makarevich, with what he says and does. I don't agree with Echo of Moscow and Dozhd channel, I don't agree with Channel One, NTV and Russia 24. I don't agree with BBC and CNN. I do not agree with Putin, I do not agree with Obama and Merkel. I do not agree with the choice of the Ukrainian people. I do not agree with their choice of the European path, and I do not agree with who they chose as president. I do not agree with what Russian society is now so united around. I do not agree with that war, which has no end in sight.
