Hopeless

I have so tried so many anti-depressants but none have worked very well, even Nardil which is very high-powered. I am writing down my negative thoughts and replacing them with positive thoughts.

I'm Starting to Identify Secondary Gains

I had to go back every few months. Gradually I got over it just by doing it again and again and now I ...
