that's EXACTLY it- I look good on the outside- but I'm crumbling on the inside.
And the CBT seems to work for a few years, and then the amount of effort that it takes "acting" (ie; pretending) a certain way is so exhausting that the depression takes over again.
I have been through this particular scenario four times in 37 yrs, starting at 17 and the years between of "acting normal" before the major depression hits are getting fewer instead of greater.
And THAT'S why I don't believe that CBT is working for ME. Yes, I'm sure also that it works for some.
