I read through a copy of "Feeling Good: The New Mood Therapy" when dealing with this and would agree CBT is good at characterizing the sort of cognitive fallacies depression tends to exacerbate. Realizing that I simply could not trust my own instinctive thoughts and had to rationally challenge them more than ever was a big help when I was in the midst of depression. For what it's worth, I also did not stop working towards life goals and generally being busy in the midst of it and though that may have slowed my recovery it was also beneficial for me in the present. Hope you can get better soon.
- tachyoff 9y agoThank you, that means a lot. I'm happy to hear you were able to get better too, and that you were able to keep pursuing the things that were important to you. And I can see how working towards life goals would be helpful in the midst of depression. From what I've read, setting goals (even small ones) and trying to achieve them can be helpful too.
