To be honest, just talk therapy worked the best for me.

CBT tells you to be aware of your surroundings and to question all of your negative thoughts to frame them in a more positive way. The problem I had with it is that all negative thoughts are not invalid, and tricking yourself into thinking they are is basically gaslighting yourself. Also, when I was in a rough spot and having a hard time figuring out what to do, questioning all of my thoughts just led to more distrust in myself, which had a negative effect on my mental health, not positive.
I don't think CBT is necessarily bad when used in the right situations, but it is definitely not a cure-all like the current buzz about it tries to sell it as and it can absolutely have a negative impact.
Don't forget about the goatse man
This isn't even amusing or interesting, just pathetic and sad.
Yeah I had a major issue with CBT because it's essentially gaslighting yourself.
Tom Cruise does that for me.
Sounds sorta like victim-shaming...
Yellowjackets are absolute dicks too. You need to kill them with fire.
That would cause me serious pain and have no benefit to me whatsoever. Sounds legit.
This is me for sure. XD
It is for sure. I'm glad you had that experience.
