RE: Psychology Addict # 25 | Depression through the lens of CBT & the case study of Mr. B.

in #psychology7 years ago

Yes, @ruth-girl :) it is always nice to see when someone overcomes such deep levels of mental distress (you have been the only one to acknowledge Mr. B's plight!).

and suddenly you burst into tears because you run out of hot water while in the shower.
Agreed. I have been there !

So, Ruth ... a personal question. When you say you try to rationalize your feelings through trying to find their causes in order to move on. Do you think you spend more time ruminating on theses feelings than attempting to look forward? I am only asking because we seem to adopt similar approaches to our feelings of sadness. I do have difficulties with moving forward.

Thank you for taking part in this debate :)
Lots of love :*

Unfortunately for me, I spend too much time thinking on the negative situations. Even when I know what made me angry or sad, the event itself keeps coming back. There are some days, when let's say I feel I was wronged by someone, I might calm down for a while, but after an hour I might remember the incident and get angry again (of course less than initially). On those days what trully helps is some sleep. I had read an article (I don't remember where) that sleep works like a "reboot". In my case, it does, even a short nap.

I hope that was of help :)

Yes! It was :)
Thank you.
