Sad Mondays
This is my first message, hope I doing this right! Anyway, for the longest time, I always feel sad, lonely, depressed, especially in the mornings and toward the end of day, I start to feel a little better. One of my BIG problems is being at home alone and I just can't seem to get past this. Many years ago, before Stress, I went through a terrible depression and I remember being afraid to be alone because all of those terrible, ugly thoughts would just take over my entire days, weeks, months, etc. I have never felt that bad since that time, but something in me is still connected to that fear, I guess. Please, if anyone has any good tools to use to help me get past this, I would really appreciate it. Thank you, Suzzie

Hi Suzzie,
I can relate somewhat and this program is a tool that I have found to help me get better but before I had Lucindas program what would get me through the rough patches was remembering, not that things used to be bad but the time after when they got good again. Its the knowing that there is hope, if you've felt better since you felt bad you know theres hope. Just focus on how good it felt to not feel bad and remember that this to shall pass, its what I do and seems to help. Remembering the good days is why I want so bad to fix these bad days or at least learn how to get through them without feeling hopeless, helpless and worthless. I suffer bad depression and anxiety as well as some agoraphobia but these past 4 weeks since I have been on the program I feel theres hope for the first time in a long time and that feeling in and of itself is enough for me to keep going even on my bad days when all I feel like doing is give up. I remember what Dory says in that movie Finding Nemo...Just keep Swimming, Swimming, Swimming.... Hope this helped.. Chrissie

Hi Suzzie,
This is my first message as well and my first day on the program. I actually bought the program about 3 years ago, but could never get through the first week. I just signed up to have a coach because I really feel the program will help (I have to have faith in it) and I need someone to help me stay on track.
I used to live my myself and suffered depression and loneliness because of it. I would force myself to get off the couch and go outside to do something even if it was to drive down the street to the supermarket to by one item I kinda needed. Just the little bit helped. I also would get up and do something aorund the house. Cleaning really worked for me. It distracted me from my depression and when I was done I had a sense of accomplishment that made me feel good (for a little bit anyway). Hang in there.
