I had CBT (it was sort of a combination of therapys, but mainly CBT) for 2 years, I was signed off last summer.

I found it very good, it has certainly changed my perspectives about a lot of things. I guess I was lucky I got on really well with my therapist, she was a bit of an odd-ball *giggle* a bit like me, and I guess that helped too.

I can't say it 'fixed me' as my husband hoped it would, I crashed big time earlier this year and started SI'ing again, but it has changed me so that I seek help sooner, I cry occasionally now (somthing I didn't do before) etc. etc.

It is hard work, very hard work, very painful work, but it can help, it helps you look at things differently, and relate to people differently.

Honestly I'm glad I had it if I hadn't I probably wouldn't be around now. I would go back and do more, but i had to pay for it myself and it was expensive, at the moment I can deal enough to get away with not doing more.
