I've had 5 or 6 sessions now and I found maybe one or two sessions helpful, but now I just seem to be going in circles.
I keep scoring very low on the depression and anxiety test thingies that you do every week, and I don't feel depressed or anxious most of the time.
I can't do the mood diary thing because it all seems to be about specific situations and you have to rate how anxious you feel and that just doesn't happen very often for me, maybe once a fortnight or once a month. My therapist says we can't get any further if I don't do the mood diary but I don't know what to write.
I think she got quite pissed off with me at the last session. She spent the entire hour trying to help me understand why I was bullied at college but I still don't understand it. She contradicted herself a few times and now I'm just more confused than ever.
How long does it take before it starts working? I don't even know if I have anxiety or depression or whether I'm just too muddled to even know where to start with CBT, but I don't seem to be getting anywhere.
Thanks
