Trying very hard to take my T's advice and not add insult to injury by saying negative things to myself because I'm in a biochemical depression. It does seem to be helping my self-image. It took me multiple sessions to actually INTERNALIZE the thought that I shouldn't view myself more negatively because I have a mental illness as compared with a physical illness. I am believing that concept and finally taking it to heart! Here I thought my therapy sessions were becoming just a waste of time. Now if I can just get some additional boosts from the antidepressant and starting work, I may be on the right path!
