You are welcome, Dear Confused:

It’s understandable to miss feeling good, and to remember it better than it was, forgetting the times when it did not feel that great- a sort of selective emotional memory.

Actually, quite often since December you felt pretty good from time, having lots of fun talking with her (and forgetting those times?)

Yet, no doubt a whole lot of the time (since Dec), you feel disconnected and flat. The THINKING feeds the flatness.

We talked about CBT which is based on the principle that changing thinking = changing feelings.

We talked about psychiatric drugs that block obsessive thinking, leading to feeling better.

You mentioned a recent therapist: does she do CBT? Did you discuss psych drugs with her?

Or any other strategy?
