[RebeccaJeanPrescott]

its funny how our brains work. I look at you and think "no way she' depressed. She has it all" but lo and behold, your just like me.

Thank you for your post, I found it helpful, and enjoyed the cute posters :-).

[boyonbicycle]

I have some of these thoughts too-especially the all or nothing! Makes sense coming from a family with alcohol abuse.

Very cool. I have a book thats good by Melanie Fennell. Worth a read. Your video-blog is cool thanks

I prefer David Byrnes 10 days to Talking Heads.

On a serious note. I'm in the process of discussing a bipolar II/cyclothymic diagnosis with my psychiatrist. I'm enjoying watching your videos. I definitely experience distorted thinking. I'm an essentialist, and I gravitate to a mechanistic world view. I over rationalize and take multiple positions when evaluating a decision making it difficult to choose.

Could you do a piece or direct me to something on lower levels of hypomania? I'm not extreme

You are great for put this kind of knowledge available, I have the feeling good hand book ,which I belive it is a sintesis of this one, however. This method is the best for whoever that has any sort of depression.

U GOT IT SO RIGHT!! FEELS GOOD TO KNOW I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE.

[susudances]

@EVERYWHERENYC I cannot agree more. She has helped me more than she knows. Her examples are pretty much exactly my thoughts. It's scarry...

[tcheneyhg]

great job!

[BarnBrat]

They mention all these things in the ADD book.....

[willberb]

Nice vid. I agree with you that book is one big o book. I guess it helped you to pump your guns, which could lead to higher self esteem.

[debswildhoney]

I found this very helpful.

[verdadybelleza]

You are brilliant.....there are no many people able to investigate feellings and thinking. God bless you!

[foxgirl100]

You ARE worthy!!!

About "Discount The Positive", If one has goals and one failed to reach those goals, would one be "Discounting the positive"?

[flippedy]

Really good - I do all those things too. I think I will go buy that book too. Thanks for sharing! :)

[stupidsminkle]

I have all 5 of those

[johngraham213213]

your efforts inspire me. i love to see how hard you worked to get yourself better. it makes me think that i could make some progress if i did the same. I am a big believer in david burn's work. I flew to see one of his workshops. I was lucky enough to sit next to him on the plane ride home, by a great coincidence. He spoke to me about my problems for two hours. We just kept writing down negative thoughts and writing positive responses. Its that simple.

My old counselor taught me some of these same things. It is very helpfull. I need to get that book..Thanks for sharing!!

[grailmaiden]

My beloved younger brother committed suicide four months ago - clinical depression abused alcohol drugs

His death really hit me hard

He was unable to ask for help & never sought treatment

Because my birth order and gender is different from my little brother I actively sought counseling for 12 yrs

I'm in remission, although a daily task to keep myself on an even keel

Your videos, blog and insight is such a treasure

Keep Hope Alive!

This is a good video. What you may try to do is to have the text that you are reading from the paper on the side, to be written on the back side of that slides that you are holding.

That will be less distracting for the viewers
