Manic666, it appears that you did not have a good experience with CBT. I am sorry that happened. Please know that CBT is much more than a group session for anxiety. I don't really know what is wrong with you or hansi, but some studies have shown CBT to be as effective as medication for a variety of ailments, and the two are even more effective when used in combination.
I do know that reading through the list of common cognitive distortions was like reading a list of how I respond to different events. Seeing the harm in these ways of thinking was very beneficial to me.
Again, I do both. I am not a no medication type of guy, but I do think you have to address both the mind and the brain when tackling the problems we face.
Best of Luck to you all,
MrTook
