Just posting to inform you all that since using this site and seeing my therapist i've really began appreciating me for me and learning so much about myself. I am so much cooler, smarter, wiser, exciting than I ever knew! What a great relief! I've always thought I was so boring and bleak.
What have you learnt about yourself since joining the site?
Thanks for the post! It's also great to hear what you have learned about yourself. I really appreciate you sharing your experiences with me as it has helped me to gain such a positive insight into myself. Stick around and let's keep supporting each other through this.
Thanks for sharing that, the world of music is so vast. And I feel that it really depends on the mood you are in. I agree the oldies do hit home. Neil Diamon is great from time to time. I'm a big fan of Van Halen as well. If you really want to go to a concert, then you definitely should go for it, whether you go alone or not.
My favourite song would have to be "Origin of the Species" by U2.
The site has helped me by giving me a place to come where I feel like people understand and are in the same boat as me. It's really comforting and refreshing. The program also guides me and gives me structure. Reading posts has also been very beneficial for me.
"Fear of the future is a waste of the present". I'm not sure who said this but I find it's incredibly true! The same goes for dwelling on the past, if you are doing all of those things then you are not living in the moment. So essentially you are not living at all.
That is really sweet lost. Those are 3 very proud moments and 3 very good reasons to be the best that you can be. Pete, 2 is fine, and you also have those boys to be proud of!
mine:
1. Becoming an optometrist (this was before I experienced anything related to depression)
2. Becoming a father
3. Re-falling in love with my wife.... she is my world!
