Hi,
I don't know where to start really....I am in my early forties and was diagnosed with anxiety/depression in my early twenties and have tried probably every med available (all had good and bad points for me apart from venlafaxine....nightmare!!). I have recently started group CBT in the hope that this will help, twenty years of papering over the cracks is taking its toll. My situation is I seem to live life in a bubble, not really participating, more observing and devoid of emotion. Most of the time I function ok but I find just doing this takes all my energy and I feel no fulfillment in anything I do, its a constant battle.
I was wondering if anyone else has experience of group CBT as I know it is early days with me but it is in my nature to be pessimistic but I would really love to think this could make sense of my life and allow me to live a 'normal' life.
Thanks for your time.
