He experiences frequent, intrusive thoughts that he is not good enough, despite personal and professional successes. He has been trying to overcompensate for his thoughts for the last 3 years by taking on more than he can handle, which leads to failure and furthers his feelings of inadequacy. His wife suggests that he seek help after finding him crying. The following is an excerpt from his intake interview with his psychiatrist. “I feel worthless and have felt that way for a long time - for over ten years. It feels normal to be down. Sometimes I start to feel better, but it never lasts - I feel bad about my life most of the time. I don’t think that I’ll amount to anything, and l might never be successful at work. I feel exhausted all the time. I have trouble sleeping. I’ve been waking up in the middle of the night and can’t stop thinking about all my failures. I’ve lost weight in the past few months. Food just doesn’t taste as good as it used to. I feel hopeless and often have trouble concentrating when I’m with my family and friends. Maybe I’m just pessimistic.”.
