Dec. 17th, 2011 05:11 pmso, last night I went to see Hugo 3d. tonight I had the option of going with the old RHPS types to Tucson with them, but ugh i'm tired. I think I ran out of steam.
some depression treatment theory I've read seems to indicate that if I just keep busy enough I'll chase the blues away, but if that were true then going out three nights this week would have done it, right?
I have a bit of a paradox that I'm anxious around people, but bored by myself. Solving the bored by myself problem may be easier and will definitely be less risky. I can push myself into some progress on some of these hobbies, and do those CBT exercises.
main dysfunctional thoughts include: "I'm 34, I should be cured by now," "if what happened in 2008 happens again I don't think I'll survive next time," and of course, "I'm worse today than I was in 2003."
The annoying thing about "I am bad" opinions is that you can't universally rate people on a simple good-to-bad scale. And even if you subdivide those into other scales like smart-to-dumb... well, Albert Ellis has done a lot of writing on that and it's kind of annoying and less convincing than when David Burns wrote similar things.
