hantsbear: (Seriously Pi**ed Off...)

The black dog continues.  Several times this week, I have felt like crying for no particular reason apart from the hopelessness of it all.  Today, I just feel like hiding from everything as I cannot seem to derive much joy.  I feel like everything I touch turns to failure.

I think I need to seek out more counselling.

What you describe is something I am very familiar with. It's your inner monologue telling you falsehoods by exaggering, catastrophizing and/or engaging in all-or-nothing thinking. If you see a therapist, I suspect you'll get a reassuring reality-check.
You and I have never communicated directly; I hope I'm not overstepping bounds by advising you. By chance, your journal entry landed in my e-mail box on a day when I'm dealing with similar things. Best wishes from Seattle.

No problem; had a phone counseling session the other day which may have given me a way forward; it's just a case of a bit of negotiation at work.
