Hi Med-Empowered,
I can;t help but think you are really into this therapy stuff, I think I remember a previous post of yours.
I am going to try CBT but only to prove it doesn't work for me and to say I at least tried it (hmmmm, negative thinking I know) but I am very sceptical about it, for me anyway.
I do, go to work, exercise, try and keep myself busy etc but I get very little satisfaction out of any of it. When I'm off meds completely, I'm completely suicidal.
I've tried Nardil, Doxepin (prothiaden) and mood stablisers to no avail. Although prothiaden was the first drug I ever took at the age of 24 and the response I had to it back then was fantastic.
When SSRIs or any antidepressant truly works it increases motivation. I know that from experience.
Anyway, thanks for the response and I will do CBT, I've been on a 2 year waiting list here in the UK. The people who do it here are pretty negative about the waiting list itself.
Denise
