Thanks pbutton! And that is good that it worked for you. I guess for me is when someone is trying to argue with me that I am not stupid/useless and trying to tell me that I am wrong in thinking that way, it is automatically my response to go against them. And I think that maybe T is stubborn also, so that is why she was arguing with me about it for so long. For me, it would be incredibly hard to give in to what T is saying and admit that I am not a horrible useless person. I don't feel like I deserve to say that about myself though. ANd I really did just want to talk to her about other things, or maybe just have her listen to me talk about being depressed, instead of automatically going into CBT/logical/argumentative mode.
