Whatever mental state I’m currently experiencing I expect to last from here on and forever - and I very obviously ignore the evidential fact that my moods and mental states have and continue to be very diverse.

My mind thinks that the current way I feel is the way I’ll feel forever from now on, no matter what. It makes me feel like I have no ability to even consider changing my mood in this present moment in the slightest, because now it’s my permanent reality (for better or worse), despite the truth very obviously being the opposite. I *can’t* imagine feeling differently in the future from how I feel right now.

This obviously makes it very difficult for me to convince myself to take positive steps towards bettering my emotional state.
