A few days ago I read about CBT thinking errors and have seen how I make them often when I'm considering the problems in my life.
I honestly think my psychological and emotional issues run too deep inside me to recover completely and have regular life, but I think much about the suffering of my situation comes from errors in my thinking.
This means that maybe we can work on our thoughts and move to a mental place that is not permeated by sadness and misery. Maybe even have some moments of happiness.
Doing this is hard work of introspection. It requires listening to your thoughts and be "open minded" enough to open to the possibility that maybe you made a mistake.
If you want to try, you can start by picking one thought and contrast it with thinking errors. Keep in mind, that it is likely that you will disagree with it being an error or not. When this happens, explain to yourself why and contrast that to the errors again. Repeat this forever basically.
I think it can be helpful to be open to the fact that not making mistakes is legitimately impossible; so, while it is true that our life have been subject to shitty conditions, there is the fact that we are worsening it with these mistakes and that finding some relief is possible for us.
I hope we can be well.

Just to share something. A while ago I started feeling a little sad and was also somewhat scared thinking that emotions are become worse with time.
Maybe this can be considered magnification

CBT is gaslighting, it teaches you that your perception of the world is wrong and needs to be adjusted. Ironically, it makes you even more unstable and mentally ill because now you can't trust your instincts at all. The real problem lies in your environment, closing your eyes and ears won't solve shit.

No, never. The world is as evil as it appears, if not more.

Delusional take, CBT is quiet useful, it actually help a person to have a more truthful view of the world instead of just believing in every bullshit you think, learn critical thinking.

When your thoughts are distorted enough to for them to be harmful it will probably be hard for you to identify on your own.

This is why it is important to have a trustworthy support group and why you can't give therapy to yourself.

I agree that therapy has an important role that probably can't be replaced, but leaving all mental care work to be done in the presence and with the approval of someone with authority is a bad idea.
Learning some basic stuff to take care of ourselves can help.
