i would like to join this group. i have suffered with depression for about 22 1/2 years. i have days that are better than others, but i also have days that are really bad. it also depends on what is happening aroud me. weekends are usually real bad for me. i also deal with anxiety, i think it contributes to the depression.

my goal is to be depression and anxiety free and to get off the meds i have been taking for the past 13 years.(different kinds of course, i have tried them all, to no avail) but if i weren't taking them, i would not be here today, so they do help, i guess.

some new friends, that understand would really help. hope to get to know some or all of you soon. you are all in my prayers.

Imkay, I would love to know you. Sounds like we have been in the same boat. I have not been aboard the last few days. But I am back and will get on with the program

I am stressed and anxious a lot due to a failing marriage, but I find that I am SEVERELY depressed mostly. I am trying this program out, but I don't know if it is for me. We'll see

i, too, would like to be a part of this group... i'm on session 10 and have found the end of the cd with positive self-talk to repeat is tremendous... i'd been needing that as i was mostly pulling from red files in my brain... thanks for having this group... depressed for 12 years and tried many different meds and docs who have given up on me... kinda makes me understand-- it IS up to me... God bless kj

A great big warm welcome to all the new people here. How we think and what we think leads us to how our lives turn out and what we become. Sounds too simple. It is so true. Stay with this program, it is a very, very good one. The sessions and homework, and especially the daily journaling, are your tickets to a much more satisfying, more comfortable life journey. I wish you all the strength you need to do this. The work is hard. It is worth every effort.

I am very interested. I have been searching for a location such as this.I've desperatly needed someone to talk to about my problem with depression and ocd.A few family members are aware of the fact that I have some kind of mental...emotional issues,but they aren't aware of the severity of it.I don't feel comfortable with the idea of explaining it to them.It's hard to put into words.Im afraid they won't really understand.My condition has affected every area of my life.I'm feel so guilty for how it's affected my family.Hopless is not an exageration of how I often feel.Yey I don't give up hope.I purchased Lucinda Bassetes "Attacking Anxiety" program 1 1/2 yrs ago.Started it. Got distracted,stopped and am just beginning again. I'm not very self motivated.I really want to be cured of all of this and live a normal life.Somehow I've got to motivate myself.I think finding "circle for depression" may be helpful.Hopefully I'll find encouragement here.Hopefully I can encourage others,and be a listening ear for whomever may need one. Thank you for this. I so appreciate it!

Well........hi,guys. My problem is like most of you.....depression and anxiety. I haven't gotten the tapes yet in the mail. Let me know if they have worked for you. My husband died suddenly of a heart attack in the shower one morning. I knew him all my life......if that wasn't bad enough to deal with.....he had been "robbing Peter to pay Paul" in order to start a business which was his dream. His sudden death left me with ruined credit and bills that would make all your hair fall out. I had sell my house and EVERYTHING I owned to pay off most of the debt that he put in both our names.........without my knowledge. He did the bills...........so........yes, I am depressed. It has been two years since he died. I am re-building my life, but this is depressing.....to say the least........hope I didn't depress you! So.......does the program work?
