Pills wise I have no idea if they working or not. I don't feel anything. Usually got to take Donna's word for it.
Thats the right way about it tbh. Im an unmotivated prick and a pain in the arse so anything that was on me to do alone was never going to work. Felt bad for the guy who was trying to sort me out.

One of the first things my therapist asked was what I wanted to achieve from CBT. I said 'to be honest, even if everything disappears, all the anxiety, apathy and depression. I'm still going to be a 35 year old fuckup with no prospects'. How do you get over that?
CBT is primarily work to knock you out of bad thought patterns and behaviours etc. If it doesnt work for you, tell them. I did and I got bumped up to tier 2 gooseberry fool, although tbf I had to wait for like 6 months for it to be arranged.
I thought you had kids? Arent they prospects? Form them into glorious little bastards and watch them enjoy things you never got a chance to. Thats what Id do.
