You do what you can, shoulding on yourself and poor thinking will drag you back to that place.
For today, that's not you. You are here, choosing to be authentic.
CBT has great tools for cognitive reasoning! It's all about cognition. Let us dig into those, using a worksheet and notebook Will. Let's work to change that beating up on Will.
So what choices do you have?
What can you do to stop judging yourself?
Where does this come from, what does it feel like, is it coloured, moving, how is your body?
It isn't easy although it gets more obvious with practice.
How early did it start? Is it from childhood?
Has this been examined?
As always you can say no V. I am not offended by my questions staying unanswered. I truly believe that you are beginning to change.
I also believe anger of the right type is very motivating and necessary for certain types of change.
I say change, change changes back. Shift is permanent, that is what I dearly wish for Will.
And being down is and can be a very valid response and stimulate shift. It's often a physiological mechanism which requires intervention. Important extreme self care and I would like to say there is no blame or shame or guilt needed for depression. This is part of being human. It's ok.
