Stress Center Peer Support

Hi everyone - I just got started on week 1 of the program. This is the beginning of my third day and I've gotten through the intro. tape and video and done my workbook assignment... It is depressing just realizing that I didn't realize I've been depressed my entire life. I always have felt like I was on the outside of things - I just never 'got' how people pull off conversations so easily. I worked really hard at reading body language so that I would know when I strayed too far into 'weird' person territory during conversations and would try to do a quick save when it happened and hope nobody really noticed. Well - I guess I can be a bit relieved to find out that this is NOT a permanent situation and I am so hopeful that with the help of this program, I too can be one of those people that hangs out and laughs with the group without getting completely freaked out! Wish me luck on my journey

Good Morning,

I do wish you much luck with your journey--believe me it will get easier as you learn new skills.....Hope to see you again soon here ! Have a wonderful day...

Hi,

I am just starting week one of the program too! I actually got the program in December of 2007 but I didn't get very far with it. I got a call from someone from StressCenter a couple of weeks ago who suggested I try doing the program again and start off slowly this time. I've stated up again and this is day my first day. Anyway, I liked what you said about "reading body language so that you would know when you strayed too far into 'weird' person territory during conversations"...I do that too and I though I was the only one who felt like that; it's good to know there is someone else out there who has experienced the same things I have. I wish you much luck and much success with the program.
All the best,
TD

P.S.drop me a line sometime and maybe we can be eachothers support system since we are starting around the same time:)
