Learning about [basic Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy](https://www.amazon.com/Mind-Over-Mood-Second-Changing/dp/1462520421) improved my life immensely, even though I wouldn't meet the clinical DSMV criteria for an anxiety or depressive disorder diagnosis. \r\n\r\nI just liked the book's title. I mean, who *doesn't* want to control the way they feel? \r\n\r\nIronically, one of the most helpful things in the book was these little vignettes about the internal monologue of a character who has major depression. They made me realize that my intrusive thoughts and irrational worries are nothing special. In fact, they are *literally* textbook examples.","subreddit_name":"AskReddit","author":"cortechthrowaway"},{"body":"I had those.\r\n\r\nTherapy helps a LOT. Specifically CBT skills of identifying, disagreeing with, and stopping narratives put into your head by others.

It sounds like evangelical Christinaity has really done a number on you. \r\n\r\nThe best thing you can do is to take a breather, you won't be able to figure anything out while you're terrified, stressed, and overwhelmed. Leave it all alone for a while, put whatever faith you have on the backburner, go through the motions of whatever church life you have, and don't worry about the deep questions for a long while, until you feel stronger and you're in a better place in your life to dig into them. \r\n\r\nYou don't need to know everything, you don't need to figure it all out right now. \r\n\r\nFocus right now on seeing a doctor about your depression, look into Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT). If you can't afford a therapist, there are websites or books you can read to help you work through CBT techniques yourself.

Its not a replacement for a good doctor and appropriate medication, but it can help a lot alongside it.\r\n\r\nEventually, when you're in a better place, you can look a bit more carefully and clearly at why you're so terrified of hell, and why that is driving you into such a tailspin. You can figure out what you believe, and why you beleive it, without being torn apart and spun around by fear and depression. Because right now, you can't deal with it, and you shouldn't put that on yourself as another burden to carry.","subreddit_name":"ChristianUniversalism","author":"Naugrith"},{"body":"I feel that - confidence is huge when trying to make connections with people.

Depending on your circumstances it could evolve into something else entirely, or not. It depends on a number of things, including how many traits you qualify for (you need a certain number of traits to qualify, etc). You really need to be evaluated for the dx ( diagnosis) by a professional who works with you. If you can't go now due to cost, lean in to it yourself and do your best. If you want to start working on thoughts and how they affect feelings/behavior (CBT), the second edition of Mind over Mood will be helpful.
