CBT is about overhearing your negative thoughts and gaining distance from them. Just because you feel it, doesn't make it true!

This is my ideal psychological treatment. <br /><br />Dealing with emotion control when there's so much to get emotional about...its a neverending struggle. And the MS fatigue kills me. I lose all of my energy, regardless of my attitude. Its frustrating, exhausting and neverending. <br /><br />All of my past shrinks and the one therapist I had never offered strategies. They just let me drone on and offered nothing but drugs. <br /><br />I start with a new psychiatrist in mid August. Its a place for advanced or abnormal psych patients so hopefully they will understand the combination of these two diseases. I'm hoping they will pair me up with a good psychologist/therapist. In the meantime I try to manage with otc supplements and psych drugs from my pcp and neuro.
