Introduction (venting, very negative.... dont read!)

Hi TigerT,

Thank you so much for introducing yourself and sharing with us. Your sharing touched me so much. I too was diagnosed early in life with this kinda thing. I was lucky to have gotten help early. But besides that, the feelings you describe about your life and about yourself are so familiar to me. I hope putting it out here helped you. Really you are so worth it and we are honored you shared with us. I just wanted to tell you it gets better. I mean, I know I am still here on the depression center. But I am so much better then before. It got better for me. It did. Obviously if I am still here I am nopt perfectly better. But I AM feeling better then before. I can truely enjoy myself now I don't feel empty...I now see the point of my life and am capable of enjoying it often. So many things have changed with time and help and therapy and medication and this forum! So hang in there. It does get better. It truely does. This too shall pass!

Hi TigerT,

I am glad that you have decided to join us and get started on the program. The program can be challenging at times, if you ever need clarifications you can post questions or take a look at the group session walk through threads. Here you can let things off your chest, vent and be completely honest. We will not judge, we will simply offer the best feedback we can and help you work on improving your quality of life. As Goofy said, welcome aboard!

Samantha, Health Educator

Tiger T, Glad it made you feel better to let it out. I often come here and do that. Some can relate and offer suggestions to some parts of what you said; others to other parts. We've been there. Don't give up hope.

Do work the session....I'm still finding negative core beliefs, but the biggies are gone and NOW, you KNOW they are negative core beliefs - that is an accomplishment. Some of us it takes forever to figure that out.

I've got days where I still have to pretend....I canll it "faking it" - same thing. It's hard, physically and emotionally draining. I spend alot of time, doing alot of different things working, really working on things to help my depression.

Read the blogs; comment when you can relate, need to vent, want to share, you've got insight into what is going on - we can learn from your experiences to.

Relationships - Hey, they can happen. I recently entered into one; occasionally have my doubts about was I ready (questioning myself - a no-no); and things are going good! There is a session on relationships. I've worked that session several times with specific people over my time here. Check it out!

Glad you decided to post and look forward to more. I am glad I read your post! I can so relate as can others. There is always hope, courage and this place (a strong motivator and it helps me so much! I come everyday. lol, I usually put my opinions/experiences, etc. in somewhere. Hope you do the same and maximize it's potential!

Welcome aboard.

Hi all,

I've been lurking around for a while now, but I am only now working on the program in earnest. I skimmed through much of the program and the section on core beliefs really hit home. I think it is pretty hard to feel good about oneself in spite of any external positive and good experiences if there is a constant and underlying negativity.

The question is how to fight this and change my own core beliefs. (I guess I'll let you know in a few months time!)

I've been suffering from depression and anxiety on and off since I've been 15, but only sought "help" about 6 months ago. Ironically I never said or did anything before then because I thought that everything was due to the fact that I was an unmotivated, boring, stupid, lazy, bad and generally horrible and mean failure of a person. And I guess this is what I am still struggling with.

Things have been getting better though. I now have my brain and body back, after being lost in the aether for the last 6 months. Most probably due to the efexor. I can read and exercise and even carry on a conversation and pretend to be a normal and happy person.

But.... well...... it doesn't really change the fact that I am a boring, stupid massive failure. I'm not a real person, just an empty body that runs around trying to pretend to be a person who enjoys this shi*. I've never succeeded at anything, I can never let go and enjoy anything and I am struggling in seeing the point of continuing with a life that I don't enjoy, I have to lie and pretend to get through each day. I can never have a close relationship because I could never keep up the pretence of being happy or opening up to another person.

And re-reading the above. That is probably a very good decision. So sorry to anyone who reads this, but I really needed to let this out.
