CBT vs CBT?
Bipolar, Schizophrenia & Psychosis Support / by Bluestar3

...See more Hi 👋 I was wondering if anyone has tried CBT and/or DBT for their bipolar depression? I'm bipolar 2, depression being my biggest issue, and unfortunately often goes down a very dark path 😞 I've been thinking about trying one of these (will ask my psych for more info), but was wondering if people have found either of these helpful or could tell me more about what it was like? I know CBT is common for depression, but read that DBT might be good for the particularly bad thoughts when my mind goes there. Thanks for any info, thoughts, and insights! 😊

...See more Hi everyone. Sorry in advance if I sound like I’m complaining and ranting. I don’t really have anyone to talk to about this. This seems to be the only space where I csn just let everything out and not pretend evrythjng is ok. My bf of 12 years told me, right before the holidays, that he “met someone” on a work trip and thinks she might be the “the love of his life.” He’s gone home for the holidays to “think about things.” I’m almost sure he’ll want to breakup when he’s back since he basically hasn’t message me since he left. I can’t decide if I’m devastated or enraged, probably both. We just bought a house together and I went through 2 years of IVF. I can’t begin to express how upset I am. I can’t sleep at night and dream about this constantly. I’ve been stable for the last 2-3 years, but this has triggered some major depression for me (I’m bipolar 2, depression being my main issue — and I know I shouldn’t but I always feel ashamed to tell people this), I’m trying to figure out how to cope with a slew of sad and negative feelings :( Whoever if reading this, thanks for listening. I really appreciate it.
