I find it helps lift my mood and makes me fell more positive.

I am glad that you are back to yourself with the combined help of therapy and medication!

About 10 years ago I was quite reluctant to go onto medication, but eventually I decided to try medication in addition to the CBT and looking back it appears that this broke the cycle and allowed me to carry on with my life.

Despite a lot of negative views on the use of medication, I definitely believe there is a case for them.

Now I have reached a point where I will phase out my medication. Despite feeling anxious about it, this seems to be the next step for me.

I think it's great and very useful. I went to a DBT group. Dialectical behavioral therapy. It helped me immensely. I went for two years. It incorporates CBT in it:)

If it works don't fix it. If it's helping you, stick with it.

It has worked very well for me, but initially it had to be combined with medication, plus I did LOTS of reading. I liked what my doctor said at my first diagnosis; we can attack this VERY aggressively. Today I continue to take a small dose of an antidepressant, but my own thought patterns are the primary tool. CBT works but as a previous poster said, it needs professional attention at the early stages.
