Piglet,
It's normal to feel like you are feeling. It's also normal to feel like it is working for everyone but you. Hang in there though. It is the thinking in your head that has gotten you to this place, and it will be the thinking in your head that will get you out. Give yourself permission to change your thinking. You have infinite worth, and you are special. God created you because He wanted to. It's okay that you are not perfect, it's okay that you are having difficulty, it's okay that you are having to work through this. It's okay! For the longest, I thought I deserved the type of thinking about myself that I had. I told myself that that was how God saw me, so I should think that way. But I know now that is not true. So I can change my thinking - I can begin to think of good things, not bad. I can laugh at myself and not chew myself out for doing something silly or not being flawless. The way I think is something I have control over. I may not be able to stop the thoughts that automatically come into my head, but I don't have to entertain them. I can rest in the moment and not think outside of it. You are special, you are needed, and you are worth thinking good things about yourself and your life. You are in my prayers.

Piglet, All great advice for you. Do you feel the love from these people. You will make it. Yes the program is hard at first and may drum up things in your past or help you realize things you/we all have to deal with. I'm glad to see you're from WI so am I. Another gal from here is too. I was happy to see she's only l/2 hr. from me so we try to get together every Fri. It doesn't always work. I read your profile and can relate with the anx/dep and also the clutter. I struggle so with that and having enough energy. You will get help. PM me where in WI you're from or if you want to on here. Hang in there. You can make it.
