I'm new to here and want to work through the programmes. I have had some experience of CBT and currently I am finding it really hard to challenge my negative thoughts on an issue.
Basically I had my 40th birthday at the weekend and I got really thoughtless gifts from my partner, mum and sister. Not even creative or thoughtful cards. It would have been fine any other year I wouldn't have cared, but I'm really struggling to deal with thoughts about this that are causing me a great deal of sadness.
They don't care about me
I'm not important to them
I'm worthless/ unloveable
Every time I try to think of a rational response or way to challenge these thoughts I am just coming up with more evidence to justify the negative thoughts.... I am really struggling. I guess that is part of the depression filter. But please can anyone give me some rational thoughts as starters to challenge these thoughts. Thank you in advance
