Hi All, sorry it took so long to reply. I have been really busy settling into my new job. Anyway, I missed my last appointment with my Psychiatrist (oops) and also took myself off my Antidepressants (Well, didn't take myself off them. It was more of a case of forgetting to take them. Again oops!) My C.B.T. Therapist said he supposed it was a good sign, my Psychiatrist said it was bad to just stop taking them. The thing that got me though was that they had me on a dose for Anxiety, not Depression so I can't see there being much of an effect, but I don't know.

I've been feeling really good the last few months although I have still got that tendency to put things on the back burner. This is one of my problems is that I tend to put things on the back burner until they get on top of me and I let it all crumble down around me. To be honest today I have started dealing with a few things that really need sorting. I see it as progress sorting these things out as apposed to letting my avoidant trait get the better of me.

I think most people only visit a site like this when they are feeling low. I decided to return when I'm feeling good so I can return the favor to the likes of Cat who really helped in such a low part of my life.

Hi,

Day off for me today. Yeah things can really get better. When I started getting fed up with feeling down I was in my G.P.'s office almost every week pushing them to help me out.

It took me a while to go the doctors, I didn't feel I could face it at first but I pushed and pushed myself. My C.B.T. Therapist showed me a graph of my moods and it showed just after I started AD's and Therapy my moods went really down but then levelled and slowly started climbing until they went higher and higher.

How is your CBT going?

I like CBT and mindfulness.

Hi there,

I finished my C.B.T. Back around April time. I really learned so much from it. It can be the little things you learn that can make such a big difference, like for me, learning to say no to people when I wasn't happy with what they were asking from me.
He also recommended a book 'reinventing your life' which is written from a C.B.T. Perspective.
