Well that article made wonders with my preexisting depression
- cmehdy 5y agoIf you are receptive to lists of gratitude, it is worth noting that one of the many tools of cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) is to try to keep a journal of everyday gratitudes[0] (something like "write 3 a day in a journal" works, but other things like open prompts about "what are you grateful for this week?" can also work). Plenty of other examples out there[1] can help too. Not everybody will enjoy doing that or benefit from it, but CBT overall is proving itself to be very valuable for people suffering from clinical depression, and if that tool from the toolbox doesn't resonate with someone it's always possible to look at other tools[2] too.
