Jonathan Haidt mentions cognitive therapy in 'The Happiness Hypothesis.' He says that cognitive therapy is basically writing down your thoughts, learning to recognize the distortions in your thoughts, and then thinking of a more appropriate thought. The distortions in your thought are the negative triad: I’m bad, the world is bad, and my future is dark.
You need to rewrite your personal story, learn from your mistakes and the bad things that happened to you and find a positive note in them. You're probably in your early twenties, which is apparently the age where you're more likely to bounce back on your feet when dealing with adversity and personal tribulations.
It’s just unfortunate that CBT is insanely expensive and hard to access, at least where I am…
Exercise is accessible, of course, but therapy…
I legit can’t afford therapy right now. Like, actually…
And yet these stupid pills cost fuck-all, financially…
No fucking wonder so many people are on them. 😔
