How to tame the monsters in your mind: Experts call them ANTS - Automatic Negative Thoughts and unless you learn how to stop them, they'll ruin your life. By Louise Atkinson Updated: 21:15 GMT, 26 December 2010 Ever dipped into the ­biscuit tin then decided you’ve ruined your diet so you may as well eat the lot? Or thought that because you didn’t get a promotion this year, you’re destined for failure in your career?

You’re not alone. Even the most optimistic person is not immune to negative thoughts, but for some, the destructive chatter of self-doubt can be relentless.

When I read I create a voice to fit the text. For example when I read things on the forum, to me, everyone has their own distinct voice.

When I listen to speech and read, I repeat it in my head and see corresponding images or data. I talk very very quickly sometimes and I've been told its because I think in my internal voice extremely quickly too. When I write characters for stories each one has a unique voice which I can hear in my head. Anyone else like me? Kate Gladstone's Handwriting Repair.
