Great post and very true. Although when I tried CBT once the bitch immediately wanted me on drugs and insisted it was necessary. So I quit.

But the technique is solid. In fact it's what taught me how ridiculous all those redditors are who think they read your mind and know exactly what you are thinking and how you are. Classic cognitive distortion. I may not have been incredibly successful with CBT but it did teach me a lot about cognitive distortion and how to recognize it in myself and others. I see it around me everywhere these days.

It's really sickening what the media does to these people. They are spreading mental illness.
