I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on the latest treatment for dysthymia. "talk therapy" is not working. The drugs help to a certain extent when I am on the right ones. But they burn out and they only seem to keep me out of major depression. It seems no matter what I try I can't get negative thoughts out of my head. Deep down thats not who I am or who I want to be. I've tried journaling affirmations and it triggered severe depression and a suicide attempt or at least it immediately followed. I tried group therapy at a day program but I am extremely shy. I can talk in groups of 3 or 4 but never opened up in front of the full group so they say I "never let it work for me" I keep looking for a new Pdoc and therapist but there are not many online places to look with actual client reviews or with therapist or Pdocs who specialize in dysthimia or chronic depression.
