I have a CBT workbook and stuff like that, I just realized I say "have fun" all the time but I never actually do anything that's sustained fun. Which seems pretty depressed/hypothyroid/we're figuring t out but drs were all on vacation.
(DC peeps if we're enough who are sociable enough want to plan a fun Shackmeet? Etc. )

Also, having a weekly meeting that is fun but also involves planning helps a lot. I have a three hour club I go to once a week that involves me doing activities preparing for it throughout the week and it gives me a "hey you know that fun thing you do on Thursdays? Better start getting ready for it because you don't want to show up unprepared!" that will pull me out of a funk when everything else fails.
Go full nerd and make your club a DnD game even if you don't think you'll like it. The mental exercise of putting yourself completely in another role is good help for a lot of therapy issues, especially if you're working with CBT.
Speaking of that, use your CBT time. Side by side with a journal that's your meditation time. A time where all your bad thoughts can be carefully analyzed, admired, and put back on the shelf where they belong so you go back to the fun stuff.
