Have you talked to your psychologist, psychiatrist, or doctor about starting an anti-depressant? I have a friend who probably had mild depression and who also felt extremely anxious about social interactions and anxiety in general (and no amount of reassurance made her feel better). After seeing a psychologist and her family doctor and starting anti-depressants (which is one of the first-line treatments for anxiety and OCD-type stuff), the negative thinking went away and so did the anxious, obsessive thoughts. I admit that I was a bit skeptical about the benefits of anti-depressants, but seeing how reduced her negative thinking and anxiety were after she got the right medication, I’ve changed my mind. If you’ve already explored this, ignore my suggestion. However, if you haven’t, you might want to consult with your family doctor and psychologist to see if it might help you feel better and allow you to make more progress with your psychologist during your sessions.
