Feeling Down


Sometimes its hard to feel good about things. Life can be tough and its hard to know what to do to make yourself feel better. Sometimes you just want a hand up like this little lamb. Somewhere safe and out the way.
Did you know though, that the way you think about things, affects the way you feel about stuff. And the way you feel affects the way you behave and then it all becomes a vicious circle.
There are ways to break out of the circle. One way is to use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy or CBT as it's often called. We've got a course based on CBT principles for when you're feeling down and in a rut. Try this free short extract which helps you identify your distorted thinking http://www.successbox.co.uk/courses/24-extract_from_demolishing_depression_course/folders/83
It would be interesting to hear your experiences of CBT or counselling for depression - what worked and what didn't?

Maybe some real life stories would help. It's hard to be motivated when you feel so bad. Perhaps you could make the course a bit more interactive.
