Support circle for depression
Hi debchance. Wanting others to say we are worthy really is something we learn at an early age. I wish we could have spent as much time learning how to believe in our own value when we were young as we spent getting encouragement to seek approval from others. We simply don't need anyone else's permission to be ourselves. I hope Session 4 is a huge moment of success for you.
I've been perscribed Paxil and have been reading horrible stories about it. Now I'm freaked out to even try to take it. Does anyone have experience with Paxil? Is there another med that doesn't make you feel like you're coming off heroine when you stop? I can't imagine doing that to my body but I need help!
I myself also as try doing this program when I ferst got diagnost with dipresion, but after Istared to feal betr i tos the program as

I am working this program, which I think is very good by the way, to overcome a depression which had taken over my life. I am following the program according to all the instructions and feel improvement already. One of the program assignments is to check in to our peer group daily online ... this group. I am finding that mostly the forums are for stress and anxiety. Stress and anxiety are not my problems. Perhaps those of us who are primarily here for depression could reply here, and we could create a depression support circle? It would be helpful to me. I hope others would be interested.
Today is my first day with the program. I have suffered with depression some in my life, but the past few years have been the worse. I had my thyroid removed 3 years ago and it seems the depression has taken on a life of its own. I have tried SSRIs a few times, but only makes things worse. Anyone else have thyroid removed and having trouble with medications being regulated?

Hello everyone, I am new to this just stated the program I am on week 2 I am havin a hard time getting it all done in a week I feel stressed because I am behind. I am behind in everything really so its not just this. I dont really know where i fit in I a rapid cycing bipolar, plus ocd and panic atacks. It might all be just one problem with lots of names. If I dont fit in here where do I go?
Hi everyone! I too am experiencing the constant
fatigue and lethargic bouts with depressions. Please keep the good info coming.. I am starting
my program this week.I have always struggled with constant bouts of depression. It seems to have stemmed from my childhood some 40 years ago. I have always put others before myself and became the free service for babysitting and staying with the aged family members because noone else had the time. Now I am nearing retirement and would like to enjoy some of what is left of my life, and non of my sibling sisters seem to like me any more.

Hi, all! I haved just started my program two weeks ago, and I am behind already. I started spiraling down about two months ago. I ordered this program, went to the doctor and my number one goal is overcome this. The last 30 years of my life have been filled with what ifs, wrong choices and sometimes no choice at all.
I don't like to journal, probably because it means thinking about my depression and how to fix it. I believe I have the tools now and by the grace of God I am taking control from this day foreward.
I want to be included in your group.
Thanks to all of you for your courage!

Pecos: Thanks for your input. I thought I was alone in my feelings, yet you described the same symptoms I have. I have done the meds, and therapies, felt like all I was really doing was giving my money away, because the results were not lasting long enough to help in the long run. I never got along with any meds, I seemed to have the side effects. My therapists never suggested or used cognitive behavior changes. Felt like the medical world is on a money grab with depression and anxiety.

I have found a herb that really works good for me to keep me calm, but be sharp minded, and energetic. I also get a good night's sleep. This is a real good treatment for me. I have not gotten depressed at all since I started on it about a week ago. I have not gotten anoyed or angry. I have not felt any gult trip attemps from others. By no means have I felt dull minded or nervious. I feel perfectly normal.
