I've been dealing with a lot this past year--I'm separated from my alcoholic husband, job loss, having to live with family, loss of several pets, etc. My therapist told me last week I've been re-hashing the same things over and over again. How do I get out of this? I don't know where to go from here and I don't know how to talk to him. I'm so frustrated.

Somehow try to focus on your values and goals gives you something else to think about

I’ve been there. Take good care of yourself. Don’t be to hard on yourself. Take small steps and give yourself time. This is what helps me.

I don't know if this applies to what you're experiencing, but my counsellor has talked about how sometimes being unkind toward yourself / thinking badly of yourself can be a pattern that keeps you in that depressive loop. I find sometimes the best thing you can do is be gentle with yourself--and you're already taking a great step by paying attention to the fact that you're feeling frustrated!

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
