Conversation With The Voice

[eoma_p]

Me (in a whining tone):  I had to take a day off work yesterday to clean up the flooded basement.  It was disgusting and horrible!

The Voice:  You had to take a day off work?  So you have a job? There are a lot of people who wish they had jobs.

Me:  I have a great job -- challenging, interesting, flexible. 
But I wasted a whole day of PTO and it

What an interesting deck! I actually was aware of negative feelings and trying to put them in perspective. What do you think I'm seeing as a zero-sum game?

[evcelt]

I don't think you are, just that the over-application of that sort of chain of reason can lead to that fallacy. My comment was more in the way of encouragement than warning.

ETA: and I just love the Morgan deck! I'm so glad it's online!

Does your internal-psychiatrist make out-of-body housecalls? Would scheduling be a problem?

[eoma_p]

Don't you have your own internal psychiatrist? I thought everyone had one of those.
