I'm looking into CBT due to lifelong anxiety issues. I've tried ACT but found it didn't work for me. Does anyone recommend CBT?

Hi,
I have had CBT and it did nothing for me I have also had Cognitive Analytical Therapy (CAT) which did help. Medication has helped the most. I'm on anti-depressants and anti-psychotics and both help in different ways.
Your milleage may vary so no harm in giving it a go.
I remember one episode where they said imagine your window latch breaks a week before you go on holiday - how do you feel. I think they were getting at the point that at least it happened a week before and you have time to fix it etc. I panicked that my windows were rotten, I was going to lose my job, and could not sell the house because of the rotten windows, that I would be bankrupt, my wife would leave me and I would grow old alone. No, CBT didn't help me at all.
BW, BM.
