There's this thing I do which is downplay bad things that happen to me with "BUT here's what I'm doing about it so it's okay really and I will be fine/here's what I've done about it so I'll be fine."

Had to do damage control at home, mainly in high school. Feel I'm always pressured to prove I am doing okay, and pressured to immediately find solutions to problems. High school was a high pressure environment so that's probably where this came from. Ended up having psychotic symptoms which were resolved with antipsychotics but I still feel the residual paranoia, the thought broadcasting/feeling of being watched, lurking in my brain.
