In today’s episode I share how I am feeling after a few really bad days.
Episode Show Notes
00:10 – This week has not been a good one:
- On Monday I started to feel overwhelm and anxious about what I need to do to clear up a range of loose ends I’ve let accumulate.
- On Tuesday I shared how I am a perfect text book example of a CBT case study.
- On Wednesday I reflected on what I need to do to “get fixed”.
- Yesterday was completely written off because of how I allowed my feelings to consume me
01:52 – Fortunately I have a great girlfriend who gently coaxed and nurtured me out of the darkness and back into the light.
03:39 – It is important to me to make this distinction – I don’t have depression. What I have is a limited range of emotional skills which means I struggle to deal with some situations and then beat myself up about that.
05:01 – After the intensity of my extremely low mood feelings of the last two days, I feel sheepish and somewhat embarrassed now that I am on a more even keel.
05:18 – It’s as though I need to hang on to them for longer in order to justify their intensity.
