So sad and feeling really down

You are not alone. I am starting session 2 of the program and have just started the relaxation tapes. I don't have alot of time to commit because everytime I get my 7 week old baby to sleep and try to relax and focus on the program he wakes up. Remember we are all in this together because we all have similar situations but we are our safe person and safe place. The hardest thing I have been trying to figure out is what is my external stressor. I have a new baby and this is the only thing going on in my life right now which I know is a big change, but how do I eliminate the anxiety. I am not going to give my baby away to get over it. I just pray that god will give me the stength I need to get through this and to give me confidence the program will work.

Good Luck. WE WILL GET THROUGH THIS!

Thank you everyone for your posts!!! I am still feeling really depressed and anxious, but I keep telling myself that this will go away! I am not a patient person, but I think I just need to be patient. I was talking (or crying) to my mom about it today. She told me that she knows I WILL GET BETTER, but I just have to be patient. I hope we all get better. I hope soon we are all like the people on the CDs that have recovered!!!

Hi bjjcr! Just wanted to let you know that you will get better! You said that you have gotten better before, keep remembering that, if you could get better before you will again, sometimes we do relaspe but that just means we need to reinforce everything again, and that's okay. A lot of stressful events happening in anyones life close together would be very hard to handle I think for anyone. But you will get through it, take it day by day and know that everyday you have a chance to and are closer to getting better. I always try to think, if nothing bad ever happened in my life then I wouldn't know what a good thing is when it happened to me. I just started the program a few days ago and am looking forward to the changes I will make. I once was fine as well, I was living a normal life until the age of 19, and then one day changed everything. But I know that if I learned how to be this way I can "unlearn" it. I think you will be back to where you were before, but it will take time, and in the end it is worth it.
