I'm getting better at using CBT to deal with many things but what do you do about a situation that is NOT a cognitive distortion but just a plain fact? My boyfriend/best friend left me. His actions lead me to believe he never cared about me at all. Whether this is true or not is irrelevant. It still hurts and when he pops into my head I feel the betrayal and rejection again and its hard to stop thinking about him. I cant analyze away the fact that he lied to me and doesn't want to be with me. Dealing with this on top of this depressive episode has been overwhelming. Any suggestions?
