Mark - Module 7


My EDB Possible Opposite Action
Watching TV all weekend. Call a friend to go out, go out for a walk.
Sleep or stay in bed. Set the alarm and get out of bed, regardless of how I feel, and make coffee.
Make up excuses to go out with people. Actually try to go.



Usual EDB Opposite action How hard it was not to revert back to usual EDB (0-10, where 10 is actually reverting back). What I learned
Watching TV all weekend. Call a friend to go out, go out for a walk. 6 I actually felt better about myself for not having wasted another weekend on the couch.
Turn down invites. Accept and go without cancelling. 2/7 The accepting part wasn’t hard, but following through was harder (hence my split score). I tried to approach this as an experiment to see how I’d feel when I wasn’t feeling particularly excited about going. In the end, I did have a good time while I was out; certainly more than if I was at home by myself with my depressing thoughts.
