...See more Hello, I am a 15-year-old girl, and I want to start Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) sessions to manage the residual cognitive symptoms of a depressive episode I suffered from two years ago, which gradually subsided without medical treatment over the past year. Currently, I experience specific symptoms that completely affect my life, which I precisely summarize in the following points: * Rumination and Maladaptive Daydreaming: I zone out continuously throughout the day. My mind constantly repeats and recycles a fixed set of old thoughts, plans, and memories (whether negative or ordinary) in a vicious cycle, and I find it extremely difficult and compulsive to stop this mind-wandering. * Complete Loss of Memory and Focus (Pseudodementia): My mind is completely exhausted internally, to the extent that it has not processed or recorded any new information or memories from the outside world for two years. I forget everything instantly, and I appear to others as if I am entirely detached from reality. * Conditioned Triggers and Distress: I feel intense distress and anxiety the moment I see darkness or dim lighting, because my mind involuntarily links it to my previous dark period of depression and triggers fears of relapse. * Accompanying Symptoms During Mind-Wandering: I sometimes notice my facial expressions changing or that I move involuntarily while daydreaming. I feel highly irritated if someone interrupts me, experience a delayed response when called, and constantly procrastinate on even my simplest tasks. This was a year after my depression heal without any help or therapy
