Friend, I recognize this thought pattern because it's one that I've had before. While I didn't recognize it at the time I was in a deep state of depression, on the verge of committing suicide, thinking that maybe I wouldn't feel tired or defeated anymore.
I'd seriously consider seeking out a psychologist, they are really good. There's so much light out there in the world.
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 8y agoHaving gone to the medical industry for help with my own extreme bout of depression, I very much don't recommend it. They have very little idea what they're doing when it comes to depression, but being doctors they refuse to admit this and keep applying leeches to balance the humors or whatever the treatment fad of the day is.

CBT began to be formalized in the 1960s, and it's backed with numerous studies confirming it's efficacy. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2933381/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2933381/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6000963/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6000963/
