Hi everyone, this is joy jenkins again. I feel I just have to vent so hope you don't mind if I go on too long. I am so happy the holidays are over. They have been terribly difficult for me. I have been alone most of the time, often by choice. I don't understand what is going on with me. I don't like...

My name is Joy Jenkins and my e-mail address is joyjenkins@rogers.com. I did this program a few years ago but didn't finish it. It did help at the time, but now I am feeling terrible again. I am an older lady living alone and the holidays have been sheer hell. I can't even get out of bed, it is scar...

Think through what is really bothering you about day versus night: During the daytime, the sun is illuminating everything and there are more people out and about. At night things are less defined across the landscape and there are fewer people. The nighttime blankets everything and there is a sense ...

Hi, here I am to vent once again! Not sure where to start. I get so angry and frustrated with myself. I am totally bored with my life and very unhappy and yet I feel STUCK and not able to move on. I try to escape in sleep and take way too many pills just to try to put myself out. All escapism. There...

I was doing quite a bit better until a few weeks ago and managed to get to session 9 in the program. Then BOOM down I went into a really horrible intense depression. My doctor just said "the depression is back". I am taking prozac again, it is the only anti-dep I feel comfortable with probably becau...

Hi everyone, I'm afraid this is going to be a depressing message. I haven't even been on the computer for a while, just too "down" and totally unmotivated. I am stuck on session 9 of the program and seem to have sunk into a bad depression. I stay in bed way too much, just don't want to face the day ...

Hi, I am sorry that my original post seems to have been taken off the messages because I feel it is very important. I don't know whether anyone was able to read it, I didn't get any responses. I feel it is important not just because of the content, but more importantly because of the emotional affec...

Hi everyone, For a week or so I really did think things were starting to work for me, better attitude, etc.etc. But this past week has been hell and I still feel definitely not well. Is this normal? Also, I am retired so have too much time to watch T.V., think etc.I am so anxious over the economy an...

Hello, I am just sending this because I don't know who else I can talk to about these feelings. I am feeling so depressed, it's scarey. I wouldn't mind if I could just die peacefully in my sleep tonight. Don't worry I wont do anything, I don't have the courage to even do that. I think right now I ha...

Hi everyone, I hope I am allowed to post this but here goes anyway. I will try to make it short. I totally do not trust Sarah Palen, she makes me feel ill honestly, very anxious, and upset. I am hoping and praying that the American people will not be taken in by her, there is something there that is...
