Hello

I have completed the Burns Checklist and scored 22; now reading through the 10 cognitive distortions, 4 of which I believe apply to me.

Just wondering why Burns has the first 2 questions on the checklist as sad/down in the dumps and then unhappy/blue.

Are these all not the same thing? Why do you think he has included sad AND unhappy?

I don't know, but several folks here at PsychCentral may understand why Burns worded those questions that way. You might consider posting this question in Clyde's Corner.

Please make yourself at home.
