Are you keeping a mood diary or anything? Something you can show them if needed?
I'm not keeping a mood diary. However, I did have another CBT session today, and my psychiatrist drafted out a flow diagram for me which outlined my thoughts and mood and how they affect my behaviour and physical health.
She's also given me an activity schedule so I can write down what I do during the day to help me develop a routine that will take my mind off things. I've also got to focus on making sure I take a lunch break in work and regular desk breaks, as well as doing a physical activity or some form of activity in the evening and reducing the amount of coffee I drink and replacing it with water.
A few simple steps but start small and aim big I guess...
It’s sounds like a very positive session. Well done for getting through it :)
It does sound really positive! You are right, each mile starts with the smallest step....
