Re: Advice needed from people who understand!!

You are completely right CynCG. WE all need more compassion for ourselves. I give the benefit of the doubt to everyone but myself. I ended up missing two and a half weeks of school and I still hate myself for it. Thankfully I have a counsellor that is wonderful and she's helping me too. I have faith...

Re: Advice needed from people who understand!!

It's nice to know I'm not alone. I am trying but I'm not religious so I only have me and my boyfriend and the counsellor I see every 2 weeks. Thanks for the encouragement!

Advice needed from people who understand!!

I started session 4 on Tuesday and for some reason I'm having trouble all of a sudden. I've been really good with all the sessions so far even though I though 3 was going to be the hardest. And now, I'm having trouble keeping up with the positive self talk. I've gone to class once this week. I usual...

Re: Not sure this is working for me at all.

I've only been on the program 3 weeks and at first i questioned had I wasted my money. Now, after sticking with the program, it's almost to the point that I have to listen to a tape every day...I can't put it down. I'm hoping that's a good thing because it does make me feel better.......not 100% ye...

Re: Not sure this is working for me at all.

I know how you feel. I don't feel like the program is helping me yet either but medicine doesn't change how horrible I feel. So I'm just going to keep trying and plugging through it. Think of it this way, if you knew all this stuff already than why aren't you better? I completely understand how you'...

Re: Im stuck

I've taken care of babies before. I know how much teething sucks. As for fighting, it happens. I'm having a hard time with the positive self talk too but you've made it this far so I believe you can keep going. Just move on to the next session if you're done the third and just keep trying to practic...

Re: Fibromyalgia

I'm almost 21 and I was diagnosed at 18 with fibromyalgia. I absolutely HATE exercise. I avoid it all the time because I'm always so tired and exhausted. Because of this, I have decided to work through this program to a point where I have my negative thinking under control so I don't set myself up f...

Re: Hi...I've Been Here Before...

I didn't think I would make it to week 3. I thought this program would be bogus and a complete waste of time but they tell you every session that it will be worth it. Even though you quit it a while ago, I think you're really strong for coming back to it. There are literally thousands of people on t...
