Having decided that the tablets weren't achieving much on their own, today was the first part of my CBT course.
Lots of people there, all dealing with anxiety and depression to varying degrees.....listing the symptoms on a flipchart seemed a bit of a redundant exercise to be honest and the rest of the hour was equally unhelpful....superficial and ever so slightly patronising.
Next week it's guided techniques, so I'm off to practice deep breathing in my happy place.......
