Are you like this? I reckon its the main cause of my anxiety and depression but I am unsure how to change. Like alot of you I had the bad childhood, the rocky teens etc etc but its really hard to remain positive when the only luck you have is bad luck.
When I'm on my death bed I want to look back at my life and think "Wow what a ride" not "Thank f$ck thats over"

I had a very bad childhood and it could have scared me so bad but I became a chaplin........
you gotta believe in yourself girl.........
go back to cd 3 and cheerlead for yourself.
write in a journal and it will show your stinking thinking
listen to the relaxation cd and you will be fine and always remember God and Jesus are always listening............
it wasn't always easy but I found good days and it has made me a much better person

great childhood here, but still felt sry for myself...The Good Lord knows about what. Always had a low self esteem. Was institutionalized for depression at 15. Am now 34 and on meds. I am on session 4. I love this program! You must journal and do the homework or you won't get better...you may wish to seek counseling or psychiatric help also. I hated this so much I would do anything to change. I feel pretty good now.

Who cares what they think? Do you exist for them? Do you breathe for them? NO, NO and NO!
Seek help for you because YOU want to and not what others may think of you. They are professionals that see many people in your boat and in other boats as well. Their is NO shame in helping yourself. I know for myself it took alot of courage to open up to a complete stranger with my your problems, hurts, wrongs, baggage but once I let your guard down I felt this HUGE weight lifted. I had to remind myself that they too have issues all their own as well! No one is happy and fancy free all the time! I used to have to remind myself to leave my ego and fear at the door and realize that I needed to do this to help myself, to better myself so that I could LIVE once again! I needed to be true to me and take care of my needs regardless of what I looked like to someone else. That was a huge hard pill for me to swallow, but I did it. I saw and convinced myself that I was more scared of what I may become if I stay and did things the way I was doing them...just stuffing all my feeling down, not dealing with my past.
Do whatever it is you need to do for you!
