Edited the original to clarify. The video link didn’t work, it’s here, pretty descriptive of the basic attitudes. Changing attitudes to me feels like changing beliefs, you can’t simply choose them by tricks of imagination. Medication helped with that. These days my problem is more simple avolition than depression, any non pharma tips on that? (I’m a physician.)
It would be nice to know how much of imagined SSRI poop out doesn’t actually happen. Unfortunately there aren’t similar tracking tools in finnish to give to my patients. Maybe pen and paper should suffice.
Yes, a lot of it has do to with having the parts of your mind that are action oriented not in alignment with the ones that want to have fun. If you’re in that state for a long time, or in any way that ingrains the patterns hard, eventually you get to more extreme states like lack of interest in anything.
I use non-medication techniques to get people out of these states as my profession. You might find this audio helpful.
