"You're Not Alone"

When someone tells me, "Don't worry, you're not alone." I immediately jump to the conclusion that they are either a mind reader or the voices in my head are much louder than I thought.

It is not that I am schizophrenic, but rather that the dialogue in my head never really stops. A number of my thoughts do not correlate with my core beliefs and come across as if someone else is stating them to me. I have learnt through cognitive therapy that I have the ability to qualify every thought and to accept that irrational thoughts will come and go. I do not have to believe everything that goes through my mind. This inner dialogue is as if I have a governing counsel at my fingertips. I can have a conversation with them whenever I see fit. As a matter of fact they continue talking a lot when I am trying to ignore them. It is as if I am never alone.
