Hey everybody. I'm Gigi from South Carolina. I'm a Christian and have 2 daughters, ages 16 and 21.
Don't know exactly what I'm sposed to say here, but figured this was the best place to start.
I have been "officially" diagnosed with depression for about 5 years I guess. But only in the last 3 years or so has it grown into MDD... with acute anxiety and PTSD.
I was in an abusive marriage for 12 years (been out of that for about 5 years) and around 3 1/2 years ago I unjured my back at work and have been having surgeries and other procedures since then. Pain is contant.
Well.. I can't go into everything here in ONE post...and I'm sure I'll tell more as I go along. I hope that I will be able to turn to ya'll and I pray that I will be able to help others.
I DO believe that this site is a God-send. When I found it I got so excited!
I've read session 1 and I reckon it looks like I'll be doing each session on a Friday. I'm looking forward to seeing results.
I am seeing a counselor but mostly all she does for me is tell me about her own life. And I don't mean that she is having me learn by example... I mean she just tells me about what her grandchildren did, what her husband did, etc. I may just be exaggerating there..but .. I really do feel like she's just not helping me at all. I've been seeing her once a month for over a year and I'm not any better.. in fact I'm worse. Ok... I'll hush.
Sorry I rambled. I'll save it for a blog next time.
