I am struggling doing the work

Post by cara13 » Sat Jul 16, 2011 7:28 pm

Although I am excited about the new changes that can happen in my life due to this program, I struggle with such a deep depression that I find it hard to do the homework that comes along with the program. Does anyone else feel the same way?
Does anyone have suggestions?

I do graphic arts for a hospital. I need to exercise but find it also difficult to complete these tasks with the depression, I just want to hide in the bed. Any suggestions?

It is ok to struggle and there are some days that you will not meet your goal but this is your medicine it will make you feel better so make some time for it. You can do it, there is something in your life that takes your time that is less important than your mental health. Without your health you lose your income, often your close relationships deteriorate and you are beyond miserable typically as I have been there and I was medicated to the point that I was unable to concentrate at all, remember, care about anything and make normal conversation.

I am having the same problem. My depression only lets me sleep about 4 or 5 hours, and that's with a sleeping pill. I am tired most of the time but am doing an excersize routine in the mornings now. I used to work out very regularly, almost OCDish, but now my fatigue makes it hard to do. I am trying all the steps in the lessons, the ones that make sense for me, and seem to find some help there. It is forcing myself to do this and you have to CONSTANTLY be thinking about the goals for the week, otherwise it is too easy to fall back into the old ways of thinking. This isn't the first program I've tried but this does feel different. first time I had ever heard that the anxiety was caused by ME and that it's OK and can be cured with the right thought patterns. Anyone have any motivational hints? Often i just want to go to my room and cover up in bed, but I am resisting as much as I can.
Thanks,
Anxiety2
