Re: Depressed, can't get much out of Session 4

I had a lot of trouble with sesion 3 and with negative thinking. I am going to try to work on 4 because I need to move on. Just trying to type something in here is a huge jump for me. I am computer illiterate and keep posting things where I should not, but just know I meant to try and say, "hey me, ...

Re: Any hope of this program actually working?

First of all, don't expect too much of anything. Just look at what you are questioning -- that tells me you want and hope the progrm to work! You are wondering about that and think enough positive thoughts in your head you sat down and typed something... Seriously. I hope someone doesn't post back t...

Re: Session 3 -- Should I go to 4 or stay here?

Thanks! I appreciate the feedback... I spoke to someone in the coaching dept at the Stress Ctr and she told me since I have a perfectionistic attitude I'm feeling like I can't go on because I can't quite "get" the positive self talk think going... Since I obsess about conversations I'm going to have...

Re: Is medication-free really possible?

Wow -- what really got my attention here was that you were unemployed for 9 months and then got a new job, at which time you restarted your meds. For myself, I can't imagine having to job hunt and find a new job WITHOUT my meds. It sounds to me like you really have a good handle on how you feel with...

Session 3 -- Should I go to 4 or stay here?

I'm about to finish the week of Session 3. I've done the writing but have gotten a little scared by the "You must learn how to talk yourself out of being afraid." "You must learn how to have compassion for yourself." All these things that tell what I need to have mastered before going on because the...

Re: Share your most successful coping strategies

I'm pretty new to the program, have been working on Session 3. What gets me to feeling a little better is to start thinking of things I like to do - or liked to do before I realy "lost it" a few years ago. I try to think of "When I'm feeling better I am going to look through my stuff [hobby supplies...

Re: Negative/Positive Thought Replacement I Used This Week

OK - here goes a newcomer from Austin Texas. I have never done Facebook before -- Idid join a group and post some things back in 2009. So I am really new to all this -- I have just not wanted to get involved in anything where I might be expected to participate everyday. Yep -- major depression/anxie...
