Brown eyed,
Thank you for sharing your story. Have you taken our Depression test.This may better assess the situation for you and your doctor. CBT is only effective when you do the homework. Worksheets help you track your homework exercises and CBT is a lot of work. This may also get you on the right track to being an even better you.
As you move through the Depression Program the worksheets will change as you change. Make sure you give yourself time to do the homework properly - you know your depression best so it's really up to you to decide how often you do your homework. Take your time when you do your homework, there is no rush!
Each session in the Depression Program is based on previous sessions, and if you track your mood with your Mood Tracker (and keep notes in the spaces provided) you'll see much improvement over the coming weeks.
At the beginning of each session we give you a Weekly Review, which allows you to see how far you've progressed. We save your Weekly Review results in your Session Diary, so you will see a collection of results, which are all based on what you write in your worksheets.
CBT is a lot of work but the good news is that if you follow the program it will all come together for you as you start to feel better.
Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any other questions or concerns.
Hope this helps,
Josie
