That's an interesting and thought-provoking story for me. I am not doing CBT, but I can see certain similarities, for example, the times that I had severe depressive episodes, it was always after extricating myself from an obsessive relationship or being extracted from it by circumstances, i.e., someone moved etc.
It is that the obsession hides the depression lurking underneath and then when the obsession is gone, the depression surfaces? OR is that depression comes first and causes me to become depressed? It is a chicken-and-the-egg question for me in my life.
Thanks for the long post.
