Don't know what to do

Feeling are not facts, I learned that in this course, and it helped me realize, my feelings don't run my life. If I ate every time I feel hungry I would be 300 lbs. if I didn't drink water because I don't feel thirsty, I would be dehydrated. Lucinda teaches us, feeling come and go, and if we don't dwell on the negative feelings they will go away. the point of the program is to not only stop thinking negatively but to start thinking positively. and forget feelings, they only get us in trouble. making us feel worse and worse. I felt the same way, I did curl up into a ball, for months, but that didn't help, doing the journaling, saying the affirmations, listening to the CDs, that helped, turning my thoughts into positive thoughts that helped. Believe me you can do this, I went through this program 2 years ago, and now the world still knocks me down but I don't stay down for long. It passes, like water off a duck. I refuse to fail. this is my life, and I plan only to be happy, in all circumstances, and no one can rob me of my Joy, I can give it away, but I don't do that anymore, it isn't worth it.

Jules722,
I was so glad to hear you are tired of feeling depressed and anxious. That is what got me to this program. I got so tired of it, exhausted really over and over, that I wanted to change for the better . Oh jez, I realized i was overwhelmed and hey! I was depressed and out of ideas that I thought worked. I wanted quick , no pain gain , that didn't make me work to hard. You know, MAGIC.
I gave up on the MAGIC JUST HAPPENING WITHOUT THE WORK. Here they help through the rough high and lows. They have alot of accumalated life experience w/ what works. You MUST TRUST AND LEARN TO LAUGH THRU THE PROGRAM. I was very upset and depressed at what seemed to long as I went through . But I was tired of feeling shouldy. I was banged up pretty good too. But over and over , I tried . Obssevively trying to beat it and we( the program and I ) beat the 2 beasts. It works . Not the same timeframe for everyone but it works .
Struggle with it . Laugh with it. Work on it. You can do it! Hell we'll help U the best we know but the one saving grace is that the program works .
I am so dam proud of me because I went into the valleys of depression and the peaks of excitement but it was ugly girl. Ugly at times. A 47 year old man with a midlife crisis touched off by a headon car accident.
We can all reach this depressive and anxious states through different routes ...I met alot of different people and stories .
Currently your overwhelmed , but , I look forward to seeing you on board with the program and your new friends here taht are waiting to meet you and help you through these challenges that we can happen to any of us .
Good luck , JpHobo

jules,
Your post describes what I had experienced a number of times in the last 10 years. I'm an old guy, I should know better. I've struggled with this junk since I was 27. It's taken me a lot longer, seemingly, than the rest to pull out of this. I worked with the program for over 3 years before I was able to get back into the workforce. Even then I began having problems again after 6 months. Worked for 2 years then not able to work again for 18 months. Now I'm back 100% again.
It's difficult putting up with the ups and downs. But eventually we can get to our desired destination if we learn to love ourselves and accept ourselves as we are, not as we want to be or think we should be, and continue to work on ourselves with the program.
Curling up and forgetting it all is the easy way. Seeking to deal with our "junk" takes honesty and a courageous spirit.
