2. I'm in CBT and believe me, it helps--but not without the meds

The meds will help you keep focused enough to be able to benefit from CBT. You'll get actual homework assignments and will have to turn in this homework, which would include writing down your emotions when you're feeling bad, for instance. Other assignments would include breaking down daunting and/or dull tasks into smaller steps, so you don't lose focus when you have to do something important yet unpleasant.
