@junkartist Doing something physical if you are able to, when your mood is down, helps me. Get out and go for a walk, focusing on the environment around you, gently pushing negative thoughts away, "Not now. I am watching the birds!" Pull weeds, repot some plants, do something positive.
Record what you want. You could write about those negative things, then burn them. Remind yourself they do not have to be part of your thinking process, that you are better off without them. Take small steps each day to look at things more positive. Change your environment with a new paint color, or different furniture placement. Being stuck is an easy place to be and takes courage to move beyond.
Family often offers support, but at times, because they may be part of your issues, they may not be the safest ones to turn to in crisis. There probably isn't one person reading this who hasn't had that same experience. I have been there, also. For me, I said it is in my best interest and health to not include those people in my ife for now. Maybe lter, maybe not.
Hope you are feeling better tis evening.

This is an excellent reply. However, does she really want more constructive ideas? Cognitive therapy would help - but that focuses on actually changing. Effective therapy is not just listening and "understanding." One "therapy" is to volunteer - get out of yourself. Just do it. Tutor at a local school, volunteer at a community center or at a hospital or food pantry. Schedule this. So many opportunities to help others, instead of endlessly trying to find ever more therapy. But that takes effort; it is hard at first, no doubt about it. Willingness. No excuses.
