The only problem with asking that kind of question on this forum is we may not get a solid answer. Most users are utilizing this forum because they are currently coping with their depression. We may not get the opportunity to have many people who have benefited from CBT chime in.

As for me personally... I currently am not financially able to to see a therapist. I am working on a CBT workbook on my own. Although some of my thoughts and emotions are slipperry, I am still forging ahead. Wish me luck.
