I think you should give yourself a little credit (a lot actually). I mean you had to go back to work not knowing. You had the meds, but it took a lot of determination and courage to get back in there. I know....been there. Let's pat ourselves on the back and take the credit we deserve and give the meds a little bit 'o credit!
brenna, I cut and pasted the url below and it said error. I was going to report a problem that I am having in reviewing session 2 about setting reasonable goals. When I hit next, it says http/ error. I have gotten this error a couple of times: Using the url below and in reviewing session 2. Sorry to post this here, but couldnt get to othre place.
Wildcat, I know what you mean about lying to your self on the mood chart. And when it asks for the most depressed, I want to answer which most depressed hour are ya talking about? I also wonder if it isn't a lie to just put on a mask or facade which wil help me face the world at least temporarily. lol, yet it doesn't do that either.
I've noticed people come and go as well and I think that is the nature of groups like this as well as hopefully a reflection of progress they have made. I think we have to accept this and not personalize it. (after all, we can't tell someone to keep coming here, if they chose to move on, need to move or have improved enough to move on).
Hang in there Rose and Wildcat! The good part is knowing the good part will roll around again, unfortunately not at our timing - yet!
ah, Wildcat, hugs on the fizzle out, crash and coffee! I'm sorry that you are going through this. But remember as some one points out in their "signature line" this too shall pass!
Rose I am sorry to hear about your son and his grandmother. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your sons during this time (and always). I know that you can do what you need to do to take care of yourself and be with your children.
Sincerely!!!!!!
The phase thing- geez, I always hated when my mom said "it's just a phase you are going through". She had to discredit any feelings I had, negate them, or ignore them. This is one of the methods she employed. My thoughts on phases - well, I just don't like that word. I'd prefer to refer to it as at this time in my life I feel depressed and it's okay to feel depressed and it's okay to do something about it! lol, says the same thing, just makes me feel better.
tomorrow!
