"My CBT therapy"

I have had depression on and off for years now and last year I went through what can only be described as my worst bout of it yet. I have always said i cant say I suffer with depression because I was still able to live my day to day life. But last year I suffered, I was bedridden sleeping for up to 20 hours a day, I often thought of ending everything and felt useless. My confidence was already low but it hit rock bottom.

I contacted Inclusion Thurrock and was given an appointment with Jo a CBT therapist. Having had therapy in the past I didn't hold out much hope but I went into this determined to get out of the dark hole I was in and I think that helped so much. I embraced everything that was said and done my homework that Jo gave me.

I cant thank Jo enough for what she did for me and undoubtedly does for others. I was discharged in Feb 2020 with a relapse plan (which I have never been given in the past) and continue using the tools I was given to get through each day. I can honestly say I have never felt as positive and in control of my mind/feelings as I do now. That is all down to Jo, my saviour.
