Welcome, pigsCANfly.
Rather than saying nothing, I'll say I am not a success story for CBT.
Firstly, my therapy was quite unstructured, and not strongly driven. It may not have been purist CBT. It felt more like counselling to me.
When I began having psychotic symptoms, my therapist didn't know what to make of them, or what to do about them.
He recommended I go onto drug therapy, so I was put onto antidepressants by a psychiatrist.
I began ultradian cycling with suicidal depression and wildly manic highs, often mixed.
The therapist said he couldn't make any progress with me like that, and that we should discontinue therapy until I was more stable.
I haven't been back. Hopefully the reviews and comments of other people here will restore my confidence in psychotherapy.
