Wanting to Know What Could Be Causing This... Posted: 11-22-03 00:22am
Hi. I have a very blessed life, great
children a wonderful husband...But for no
clear reason at all, I find myself in
these really low moods. Feeling very
fearful of meeting new people, afraid of
what others may be thinking of me,
comparing myself to others, and just plain
feeling like I don't measure up. Is this
what depression feels like? I really
don't have anyone to talk to about these
kinds of feelings that I experience. My
husband is not a talker and he tells me
that all the things that upset me are
silly. I know that he means well, but I
get really down. It gets pretty difficult
to ignore what I am feeling so often.
What should I do? Any suggestions?

It Sounds Like Anxietty And Depression Posted: 11-24-03 21:36pm
No matter how good everything in my life
was I was never happy either. The answer
for me was cognitive behavioral therapy
(cbt). I was on meds for many years
before I found cbt and it cured me and got
me off meds in a remarkably short period
of time. Cbt is not like other talk
therapy. It's all about using the tools
you learn in cbt to think more clearly and
accurately about things and once you do
your anxiety and depression will
miraculously begin to lift before your
eyes.
Hope this is helpful
