My therapist gave me an automatic thought record that I'm supposed to fill out (it's been over a week and I haven't done anything, and I have three days left). When I notice my mood getting worse I'm supposed to ask myself "What's gong through my mind right now?" and very often it's really nothing in particular, like, really. Sometimes I think about how I'll never amount to anything because I'm too lazy and uninterested in everything. Sometimes it's thinking about others doing great things and I'm here not doing anything. It's just name-calling. When I'm being snappy or aggressive with my parents, nothing goes through my mind except that I find them annoying at that moment. I'm supposed to write what the situation is, but most often there is no situation.
And I have a really hard time identifying things/thoughts/feelings, and can't explain anything. I absolutely hate the questions I'm supposed to ask myself if some thought does pop up. I don't want to do any of this. I don't even think anymore that I'm actually depressed. I'm just a lazy teen with attitude issues who has no real problems. I feel like I'm not trying to get better.
And I really don't feel like I can say everything in therapy, just because I'm face to face with someone and have to speak. My therapist is really nice and a lot better than the person I had before, but still. I feel like I can say more when I'm writing (despite the fact that I also hate writing). I wish that I could just have my therapy on this website. Or that I could get online therapy, but my parents would never let me do that.

Back to the original point, tough. How do I do this sheet? (Or how do you do these when you have to?)

Did any of this make sense? Oh well, close enough.
