August catch-up

My CBT course is in its 4th week. We're an eclectic group of people with either anxiety or depression as our main bug-bear. There's lots of homework/tasks to do. Breathing exercises, practising positive statements, thought challenging to name a few. It all makes sense, but its difficult to carry through.

I'm in dark place at the moment. My low moods are debilitating. I'd hoped that "talking treatments" (CBT) would do the trick. I'm now thinking that the medication option will help me keep a better lid on things. Otherwise Claudia and the boys will continue having a rough deal.

  1. Hi Pete
    The decision to go on the medication can be tough but once done you'll never look back - believe me! Why struggle on when help is at hand? x
