I'm not getting CBT. It's been deemed unnecessary by the powers that decide my fate even though I have never even met any of them. I have been offered group therapy with MIND but I have to pay for it.

I have no idea how it works jangles in terms of why you get recommended what but I think I have found, quite unfairly, that you seem to get more sympathy for work triggered misery than family based misery. Go figure. I didn't know it was cbt till I saw the header on the photocopied notes! But it did help me come to terms with the fact it isn't the trigger that's the issue its how you deal with it and some behaviours just make you spiral deeper into isolation and it becomes increasingly hard to get out. I have a very healthy respect for how horrible it is and I am sending you my very best

Sorry to hear that Jangles, I think that's a bit rough. Do you still want to give CBT a go? If so do you know if there are any organisations near you that can offer CBT for free. I got offered it via a referral from my GP, which was nice, however gotta say that the lovely lady I saw seemed in a more depressed state than I. So instead I did a google search for other options and found one locally that offered counselling for free (ok, not CBT but it was a first step). I was assessed by a fully qualified person and then my sessions were run by a final year mature student. I found myself balling my eyes out to begin with, then as the sessions went on it really did help as a stepping stone to helping me get healthier (in terms of mental health) and I made a small donation each time i went. Hope things can move forward for you Jangles All the best Claypole |

Just been to see my GP again.. He tried again to get me to take AD's I refused again. I will defeat this thing without resorting to daily meds.

I refused mine too jangles just because at the time I was afraid if they worked I'd never get off them and it would be a long slide to oblivion. Actually they may just give you a rest and a decent nights sleep, so maybe keep the offer in reserve. Sending you heaps of good wishes x

I'm concerned about the side effects.. last time I tried them I was in absolute hell for 72 hours.. I was shaking, rocking back and forth, pulling out my hair and trying not to scream.. terrifying!
