Hello queboo, Welcome to the site. It really is a very helpful place filled with lots of caring people. CBT really is a great tool but you have to practice it all the time. I find I am great with it for awhile but when I get low again it's hard to control the negative thoughts that come up. But I do find that it doesn't seem to last as long as it used to which is a good thing. Keep practicing and you should see a difference. Take care

I've been diagnosed with depression for 8 years (since daughter was born), been on several different meds/dosages, now seeing a psychiatrist for about a year. I wonder if I'll ever feel "normal" again. I wonder if I've ever really felt "normal". I suspect I've actually suffered from depression since I was a teenager (I'm 39 now), but was only officially diagnosed a year after my daughter's birth -- no guilt there! Anyway, I've been working on CBT with the doctor for the past year -- still not totally convinced, but thought this might help keep me on track between appointments, and its somewhere to go when I'm feeling more down than usual. We'll see...
