I liked your post, alexandra.
I keep hearing how great CBT is, and I guess it is for a lot of people.
It sure was worthless for me. The idea that I could stop feel suicidally depressed over something or so anxious I could die just by THINKING something different is so crazy its funny. My therapist never got it. When something happens to remind me of something bad in my life I totally relive it. It's like being stuck on the fricken holodeck on Star Trek with no way out.
My current therapist lets me talk all I want about my messed up life, and tries to help me see how this stuff gets repeated. It seems to help a lot. So do the drugs and stuff. Says I'm borderline, which is why I keep reliving stuff. Whatever it is, it seriously bites, and I really feel for everyone here who has to deal with this kind of crap.
Peace
